ENROL landed a couple of minor Polytrack races last summer and returned to complete the hat-trick in a competitive sprint at Doncaster. She's up 8lb but is obviously a progressive filly and can go in again. Nocturn just failed to complete a quick hat-trick at York where the softer ground didn't appear to suit so today's conditions should see him in the mix along with Summerinthecity, who has been nursed back to form by Dandy Nicholls and had no problems beating Intransigent and Gatepost at Chester though the latter looked as though he may be coming back to something like his best.
