If taking to the surface then ENABLING should take this. Richard Hannon's progressive colt was only just held in a better race than this at Newbury on his latest and with slightly more improvement likely he should take all the beating. That said Cloud Rock doesn't have much to find on that Newbury running when the pair met so looks the biggest danger while Garde Cotiere showed some promise on a green debut and should come on for the run. A few promising sorts here but Enabling sets the standard.
