Verdict
The front-running Carp Kid was placed over today’s trip at Windsor recently while Arctic Sea won at the latter track in July and was placed over 1m2f at Chepstow last time. Simbirsk also placed at Chepstow on his latest start only to disappoint at Haydock afterwards and Perfect Grace was second over a shorter trip here before struggling in softer going. LAST ENCHANTMENT rarely wins but she wasn’t beaten far in a higher grade over track and trip recently and with an apprentice taking 3lb off her back today, Neil Mulholland’s filly gets a speculative vote.
