Verdict

This maiden features a few nice types who should go on the better things. Thunderstruck has proved frustrating to follow but was the only one to make a race of it with the odds-on Enrilo at Wincanton and that experience will stand him in good stead. Enrilo’s stable run Golden Gift in this and the Gold Well gelding was second in two runs in bumpers last year, including one here. Favori De Sivola, Potters Venture and Neville's Cross all have scope but Colin Tizzard wastes no time putting OSCARS MOONSHINE over hurdles after just one run in a NH Flat race. He was very green here last month but the penny was dropping in the closing stages and he will have come on a bundle.
