Verdict

Lots of long-time maidens here. GOLD ENIGMA (3) has had 12 tries which isn't a lot compared to the rest. Was Ascot placed this trip two back and placed this course and distance a couple of starts prior to that. Has the figures to go close. YALDA NIGHT (4) has been racing well recently without being able to break through. Beaten a nose two back then runner-up in a Class 1 at Ascot which would be good form for this. Gets his chance. That pair look a bit above the rest. GOING HARD (6) has been getting back and winding up late. Did just that in his only try this course and distance. Among the minor hopes. OVATHEBAR (5) should be at peak now and hasn't been far away from a win despite being beaten a fair way latest in tougher. OBSCENTINO (2) has speed and expected to take running down.
