    Verdict

    Enzaal has the highest official rating of these but only just and he ran poorly at Chester last time, though wouldn't be the first to disappoint on the Roodeye. Double Discount also struggled to get to grips with that unique track last time but kept on well off the final turn and may have more to offer while Elhaame should be winning soon on the evidence of his reappearance at Nottingham. SONG LIGHT didn't beat much at Newmarket last month but that victory will have done his confidence the world of good. He might be good enough to follow up here if Jamie Spencer can keep him under wraps in this small field.
