Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: C Poste| T: Mrs R Gasson| OR: 124

9/1

Dual winner over 2m4f in June last year. Struggled in the main since and probably best watched off a mark 6lb higher than for his latest success.

Forecasts

Ennistown (5/2), Theatrebar (5/2), Bodega (11/2), Mr Mcguiness (9/1), Knight Of Noir (9/1), Tempestatefloresco (11/1), Dell' Arca (14/1), Chase End Charlie (20/1)

ENNISTOWN can go one better than when finishing runner-up on debut for this yard by taking what looks a competitive handicap hurdle. The selection has both the trip and ground in his favour and he can see off his rivals here with Theatrebar who represents a yard who are going well at present capable of finishing runner-up ahead of Templestatefloresco who can take third back over hurdles.
