Race preview
TRULY ENCHANTING needs to show more than when finishing mid-division in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot 10 days ago but it is hoped that stepping up in distance will help greatly. She seemed outpaced at halfway when scoring impressively on soft ground on her Tipperary debut last month and having been well beaten in the fast-ground, five-furlongs contest at Ascot, today's longer distance could suit much better. American Bar overcame greenness and a slow start when winning at Listowel, with the eye-catching fourth-placed filly winning on Wednesday. Today's race is much stronger but she will be much more streetwise. California Dreamer finished fifth in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot and holds Cradle Of Love and Barnavara on form.
