Verdict

Greased Lightning won on debut at Chepstow last year but there is a question mark concerning stamina over this trip. Bridge should stay, however, as his dam won over 1m2f on heavy going and ENOCHDHU is a half-brother to 1m4f winner Eagle One. The latter won here and at Kempton in the autumn so gets the vote though Manuelito is sure to enjoy the step up in trip and Alumnus sports cheekpieces after finishing second at Newcastle.
