Verdict
Enzani has a chance at the weights though could do with the ground drying out. VASTONEA twice finished a close second over this trip before finding 1m4f stretching his stamina here last time. He's the veteran of the line-up but the only one with a course and distance win to his credit so he's taken to get back to winning ways. Castle Guest hasn't won for a very long time but he's been going well and is no forlorn hope to carry his big weight with distinction while Pedisnap is better than he showed at Navan after looking in top form at Gowran previously. The lightly-raced Teologia can make her presence felt at the bottom of the handicap but One Cool Poet was engaged in the 5.25 at Leopardstown yesterday.
