Guandi is sure to be popular for a combination with an excellent record at this venue and the son of Declaration Of War is progressing steadily. However, he was beaten some way on his latest start and it may be worth chancing that ENOUGH ALREADY (NAP) is straight enough to do himself justice as he's not been seen since finishing a pleasing third in a maiden at Glorious Goodwood last summer. Gelded subsequently, that form reads well here and hopefully the market will speak positively of his chance on this comeback run. Others to have run will need to improve considerably and greater threats may emerge from newcomers such as Modakhar and Vitralite.
