In depth
Verdict
ENNAADD had several subsequent winners behind when scoring by six lengths at Lingfield on his latest start. Roger Varian's charge will likely prove popular on his handicap debut and is preferred to another maiden winner in Jintshi. The latter won easily enough at Wolverhampton last time while Theydon Grey should confirm recent running over course and distance with Ice Royal despite a 7lb rise in the weights and is also preferred to Peak Hill.
