Enchant (10/11), Bleep Test (85/40), American Flight (10/3)

Difficult to assess with a penalised winner with solid form up against 2 interesting newcomers. The tentative vote goes to Karl Burke's ENCHANT, who proved very popular at the sales. Bleep Test's experience should count for plenty, though it's worth noting she got beat by a newcomer (stablemate of American Flight) at York 9 days ago.
