      Verdict

      ENRILO could be a smart recruit to hurdling and is likely to be a warm order in this. He won two of his three starts in bumpers and was fourth in a Listed contest in between. Archimento has to concede 6lb and couldn’t cope with a penalty at Plumpton after justifying favouritism at Fontwell. Thunderstruck was second in bumpers at Sandown and Fontwell last season, starting favourite on both occasions, but may find conditions here quicker than ideal.
