Verdict

Bollin Joan is not out of this dropping down in both class and trip while Noble Anthem made a winning handicap debut when successful over track and trip and cheekpieces are applied. ENFORCED (NAP) missed out on a hat-trick when beaten at Newmarket but this extra distance will suit and Roger Varian has an impressive strike rate at the track especially with his three-year-old runners. Merlin's Lady shares ownership with the selection and is a likely improver while Tilsitt won over a mile here back in May and Glasses Up placed over track and trip earlier this month.
