Verdict

Lots with chances. Paul Nicholls' ENRILO remains relatively unexposed over fences and is fancied to take a big step forward now tackling a marathon trip on just his second handicap start. Irish-raider Plan of Attack was still going well when falling three out in the Kim Muir and is feared most, although a good case can also be made for the returning Potterman and well-weighted Golan Fortune.
