Verdict
Another Brandy had Enchanting Smile 15l back in third when runner-up to Cappielaw Park in heavy conditions at Newton Abbot last week. While he should confirm the form Mark Gillard's mare is much better on today's quicker ground and should get closer. KRUSEMAN hadn't shown much before a surprise success at Worcester on Wednesday where he was running from a career low mark. He has a penalty to carry but if in the same kind of mood will take some beating. Hope Point once showed a bit of potential and was having her first start for two years at Taunton last month.
