Enjoy Responsibility won here in November but is still 12lb higher and his best form has come on quicker surfaces. TWENTY EIGHT GUNS (NAP) won a more competitive affair over track and trip last month and was value for more than the winning margin. A tongue-tie clearly had the desired effect and she should be capable of following up off a 5lb higher mark. Mortens Leam has also won over course and distance but the handicapper reacted badly to his success in December and the six-year-old couldn’t cope at Wetherby next time. After Aspen won over fences in Ireland and made a winning start over hurdles at Lingfield for Olly Murphy but is now on a career-high mark.
