In depth
Verdict
Berrtie failed in a bid for a hat-trick when favourite at Kempton and Enduring is preferred back on the all-weather today. Army Of India and Mashaan are still searching for their best form but BABA REZA had little chance dropped down to 5f for a Class 2 sprint at Ascot last time. He won over today’s trip at Lingfield three runs ago and gets the nod only 2lb higher on his return to the Polytrack.
