        Verdict

        There is little between Comanche Chieftain and Enriching on recent form and it would be no surprise to see either or both in the mix once again. But FLYING FANTASY looks worth another try over this longer trip as his only previous attempt came in better company than this and he scored off a 5lb higher mark last year. Jethou Island won over course and distance in between a couple of outings over further while Ifan could also go well on his reappearance.
