Verdict
Mister Mustard,Enhancer and Notaproblem are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters with the narrow vote going to Enhancer. The selection won well last time out when beating Mister Mustard and although that rival is better off at the weights here the selection has more scope for improvement and he is taken to confirm his superiority over him. Notaproblem is another worthy of respect having won well over course and distance last time when beating Indian Warrior but he has a penalty for that win and this looks more competitive so he is passed over on this occasion. Ryhall won well last time out when beating Present Glory but that was over a longer trip and the drop in distance is not sure to suit. Ungaro ran as if needing a longer trip when fourth behind Leading Man last time but even that effort gives him definite place claims. Of the remainder King's Protector is from a yard in form and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Enhancer.
