Enzemble won over a mile at Kempton last month but looked one-paced over 1m3f at that track last time. Whitlock and Knight Errant both had winning runs brought to an end last time while Thunderbolt Rocks has only won at Wolverhampton so far and Lawn Ranger seems best on Polytrack. Dawn Dancer has to go on the short-list having found only one too good over track and trip last month having won at Beverley before that but PADDY THE CHEF is just as interesting. He’s not performed badly in better company since winning a classified stakes at Nottingham in July and is receiving weight all round.
