Verdict
MENALIPPE, who went well for a long way on her reappearance, won twice over this trip on good ground at Leicester last year with Monday’s easy Beverley winner River Usk behind on both occasions. King Of Ithaca is another who will have benefited from a recent comeback while The Toff finally got off the mark at Lingfield last month. Quinault doesn’t look an easy ride but came clear at Chelmsford last week and Enborne still has scope on Turf.
