      Verdict

      Enquiring made a winning return at Wolverhampton where Ormer was tailed off but is upped 6lb for that success. Shannon Haven has been unlucky not to follow up his earlier win at Lingfield having suffered a couple of subsequent narrow-margin defeats and he can figure again. But WHISPERING STAR's recent second to TizLove Regardless looks better in hindsight with the latter going on to land a hat-trick. David Simcock's filly gets the vote to come good in this stepping up in trip. Both Indira and Assoluta have yet to threaten in similar grade handicaps and Next Stop is even harder to fancy.
