ENEMY (NAP) was slowly away on debut at Ascot in September but came home strongly and had more in hand than the official margin suggests at the finish. He has got a cracking middle-distance pedigree and it would be no surprise to see him pop up in group company in the near future if all goes to plan here. Angelic Time and Mister Snowdon bot won at Wolverhampton with the latter impressing when well backed in March. Cityzen Serg was only beaten a nose on debut but Godolphin’s Warning Shot beat only one home when favourite at Leicester in the autumn. Fair Man is by Kingman so worth a market check.
