Enactment was good value for his win at Warwick earlier this month, winning readily, and Sir Michael Stoute's colt is taken to defy a lenient 3lb rise for that success and follow up at the main expense of Taurian and Mr Keppel. The last mentioned has shown improved form with each start, latterly landing a Haydock nursery, but a 7lb rise for that win leaves him with more to do. Perfect Flight is a consistent performer but may just need some help from the handicapper, while The Jostler looks to have plenty of weight for what he has achieved. Brian Meehan's Lodi opened his account when taking a Kempton maiden last time and has to be of interest in this grade for the first time but a bigger threat is likely to come from Taurian, who did not have the best of luck in running at Doncaster last week and he has to be respected. Enactment has solid claims though and he gets the vote.
