Verdict

Cymro started favourite at Chepstow nine days ago but never looked like winning. He possibly needed that and better is expected here but Enville, who has run green in both starts to date, is also worth a second look and makes more appeal than Beverley fourth Austin Friars. DARRINGTON was doing his best work at the finish when third at Haydock three weeks ago. The uphill finish here should be in his favour so he's taken to get off the mark, though this will be his first run on ground this fast. Peeps got outpaced on her debut at Newmarket but the form of that contest is working out extremely well and she could be interesting if attracting market support.
