In depth
Verdict
Civil Law and Enough Already are on the hat-trick trail and their chance is there for all to see. However, both are inevitably now on higher marks and therefore may find life more demanding. There's little between them on official ratings. Flying West is tempting as she returns for a first start since early May, is very much at home on artificial surfaces and looked to have more in the locker when a close third here the last day. However, SARVAN (NAP) is a second decent chance on the card for George Scott. The gelding has featured with credit in competitive handicaps at a higher level this term and this drop down to Class 4 could prove just the ticket.
