13:50 Ascot – Enchanting – 1pt @ 20/1

Enchanting is yet to prove herself beyond handicaps and whether she’s up to this level, we don’t know yet. I am pretty sure, however, that the price on offer is worth finding out and she has been freshened up with a couple of months off since running at Glorious Goodwood.

That wasn’t a hectic performance, finishing nearer last than first, but the track position was a problem and the ground was fast enough for her liking. I think she has the potential to do better on a slower surface and I get the chance to test that theory out today.

This season’s debut, also at Goodwood, is the main performance of hope as she bolted up in a handicap off 89 and the figure achieved puts her bang in the mix on these terms. Can she repeat it at Listed level? We’ll see, but 20/1 is fair. I reckon she won’t mind Ascot’s track either.
