Griffin Park was no match for the odds-on favourite over a longer trip at Lingfield and shares the same handicap mark as JADE COUNTRY. The latter didn’t get the best of runs from an inside draw at Lingfield last time and gets another chance on an earlier second over today’s trip at Kempton. Dark Enchantment showed some improvement when third over track and trip and finishing in front of Thewaytothestars but Volos ran below par when favourite at Chelmsford and is fitted with a tongue-tie.
