WINGS OF WAR should make the most of the drop to listed level for the Freddie Wilson Queensferry Stakes (2.55) at Chester.
An impressive winner of Newbury’s Group Two Mill Reef Stakes last September on his final start as a two-year-old, the Mark and Charlie Johnston trainee has made the frame in three of his four efforts in Group company this season.
He looked better than ever when third to Sandy Lane at Haydock in May and on his latest run, his third place in a Group Three event at Deauville saw blinkers applied for the first time.
Connections retain them and this represents an easier opportunity, with Ebro River and Princess Shabnam prime place candidates.
In the GBR Everyone's Turf Handicap (4.30), ENTHUSED has me enthused.
Five weeks ago while wearing cheekpieces for the first time, Joseph Parr's five-year-old looked right back on the up when making all in a seven-runner handicap at Windsor 35 days ago.
There's every chance he'll go well again under another positive ride from the underrrated Daniel Muscutt.
