Based on the pick of her two year old form and after an encouraging run last time we'll take a chance on ENCHANTING to land this on her handicap debut ahead of Cloudesley and Just Five. The selection put a poor run on her seasonal reappearance on unsuitable ground behind her to put in a good run a better class maiden at Wolverhampton last time. While that was encouraging it is her performance when only beaten just over two lengths by the top-class Seradim three starts ago that means we are willing to take a chance on her here on her handicap debut with jockey Amy Ryan's claim making her mark look very fair. Cloudesley was well held but was clear in second on his handicap debut on his latest runand though he should go even better now dropped a pound the ground is an unknown factor. Just Five has an excellent strike rate over this trip and looks fairly treated racing off the same mark he raced off last time when finding just one too good, however his turf form leaves a lot of questions. The ground looks to be against Dante Deo so he is over looked for the win this time while Island Chief is weighted to challenge. More competitive stuff here and we'll take a bit of a chance with Enchanting.
