Verdict
Orobas, who made all over 1m2f at Lingfield last week, has a 4lb penalty though was engaged in the 5.15 at Chelmsford yesterday. Home Before Dusk wasn't beaten far in two starts on Tapeta before failing to stay 1m6f at Wolverhampton last time. Enmeshing has won twice on the all-weather but been beaten a long way in all four starts on Turf while Enemy Of The State hasn't run since August and has changed stables as has Fillydelphia, who hasn't won since 2016. Sosian is still a maiden after 17 starts though ran better at Chelmsford last time but the vote goes to PAMMI, who managed to win three times last year, the latest from this mark at Newcastle.
