California Flyer to take up the running at a moderate tempo. ENCHANTED JENNI (9) looks ready to win. Fair fresh then ran a much improved race second-up to finish runner-up. Ran very well in her only other try here and over the extra trip should be primed to fire. ORAQUA (10) also looks close to getting off the mark. Charged home late to go down narrowly latest and should be powering home again here over the slightly shorter trip. AD VITAM (1) shouldn't be a maiden long on the debut effort when in the market and runner-up over 1400m at Sale. Hit the line hard there and can only be improved. Should be in the finish again. ALPINE FOX (2) is better than the form suggests and wasn't far away when fourth last time. The run was much better than it looked after a slow start. Senior goes aboard and can improve sharply. CALIFORNIA FLYER (8) was fair fresh over 1200m off a long break. Extra trip is a big plus and will strip far fitter. Another who can improve out of sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Enchanted Jenni.
