Verdict

Enroller has won three times on the level, including a Group 3 on soft ground at Newbury in 2009. But he missed all of last year and recent efforts suggest he isn't the force of old which could leave the way open for JIGSAW PUZZLE to make a successful start to his hurdling career. He won a Bangor bumper by seven lengths last month and, though the form of that race hasn't worked out, looks the type to do even better now faced with a set of obstacles. Plumpton winner Gleann Eagas will do well to defy a penalty but newcomer Mighty Mambo is interesting and Warwick fourth Silver Stirrup appears the pick of Jonjo O'Neill's trio.
