In depth

Verdict

Flying Enterprise can make experience count over the likes of Nanga Parbat, Daryal and Doof. Although Flying Enterprise has not been seen since falling in October, he definitely has the class to prevail here on what is his British debut. The son of Darshaan was good enough to land a valuable hurdles contest at Auteil in September and can go on to much better things after today. He does have a penalty to overcome but a look at today's opposition gives cause for encouragement. Nanga Parbat was favourite to make up for a fall on his Wincanton debut but could only finish sixth behind Rood Bay, while Daryal needs to improve on what he showed at Warwick. Doof appeared beaten when falling at Doncaster but should not be ruled out entirely, while Gary Moore's newcomer Dharkan should be noted in the market. For the winner we return to Flying Enterprise who can prove a class above these.
