ENJOY RESPONSIBLY made a winning start for Oliver Sherwood’s yard when scoring easily at Fakenham last month. He’d tumbled down the handicap in the past couple of years so a 15lb hike in the weights may not be enough to prevent him going in again. Court King has been thereabouts without threatening recently and a conditional’s allowance will help his cause today while Emerald Rose is not badly treated but is having her first start since going close at Stratford in June. Global Dream also returns from a lay-off and Bells Of Ailsworth is preferred.
