Verdict
ENZO D’AIRY was only headed on the run-in by a subsequent winner at Wetherby earlier this month and may be able to go one better here racing off the same mark. Milanford is 0-10 over fences but has slipped down the ratings and is interesting following wind surgery. Five Star Getaway finished ahead of a subsequent winner when runner-up at Newcastle but Precious Eleanor needs to bounce back from a poor run at Warwick and this looks a big ask for Sheldon and Seigneur Des As.
