See no reason to jump off ENXUTO (10) who is flying. He's won his past three and looked unsuited droping back to 1400m here last time out but still proved too good for Capper Thirtynine who has just been beaten half a length by Is It Me. That form looks good and now Enxuto gets back out to 1600m which suits even better. IMMEDIACY (6) resumes. His form last time in doesn't read all that well on paper but he was only 3.5 lengths (and closed off nicely) by Pericles in a good race first up last time in. Looks a good each way chance. HELLSING (11) ran on well second up behind Enxuto after settling last. Now gets to 1600m and has been fancied to turn the tables. MUNHAMEK (1) is consistent and should be thereabouts again. NUGGET (2) was even fresh, he could improve.
