Verdict
ESENTEPE wasn't disgraced when fifth in the Chesham at Ascot last weekend and a similar effort here should see Richard Hannon's filly off the mark. If last week's exertions have took their toll then stablemate Graphic could figure as he showed early pace on his debut at Newbury. Bronze Angel could provide the biggest threat, however, judged on his improved effort at Goodwood where he was beaten only a length by Chandlery, also trained by Hannon. Whinging Willie should also give a good account and Ballyheigue could prove best of the newcomers.
