Enroblim Trop is better than he showed last time at Fontwell but this quick ground would have to be a worry and preference instead is for SPIRIT OF MAN ahead of Pertinent and Dizzy Future. The selection tries a new headgear combination today, with connections hoping the tongue-tie and blinkers combo will work. He was in the process of running a very good race last time out at Towcester when he fell and if his confidence has gone unaffected then he shouldn't be far away. Freeline Fury completed the hat-trick at Newton Abbot last time but he needs softer ground, as it would appear does Santarctique. Denis The Legend has a 4lb rise in the weights for his course win last time, Wizards Dust is edging down the weights and starting to look competitive, whilst Dizzy Future has been in great form of late and has revelled in a switch to chasing. He must be of interest but the handicapper may now have his measure following another rise in the weights. A decent staying contest this, with the vote going to Spirit Of Man.
