John Betjeman had a run on the Flat last month while it would be no surprise to see Appreciate regain some form following a switch of stables. ENTHUSED looked to be in the handicapper’s grip at Market Rasen last month but disproved that theory by winning again at Ludlow last week and he escapes a penalty here. Graffiti has won on the level this summer while Parc D'Amour will probably be ready to roll with his yard hitting form.
