ENEKO struggled in Listed company last time but made a winning start over timber in heavy going at Perth before that. He’s taken to defy a penalty back at this level and looks to have stronger form than Level Of Intensity, who won on his hurdling debut at Sedgefield last month and should go well again. The Lady Rules makes no appeal while Cornerstone Lad won on the Flat at Redcar recently and is preferred to fellow hurdling debutant Aladdin Sane.
