Verdict
Enzani won a couple of minor races in the UK back in 2017 and on the Fat for Gordon Elliott the following year but runs into race-fit rivals here. Rasiym won a Tipperary maiden last July and two recent runs on the Flat will have put him straight while three-times Flat winner Morning Skye was in good form when last seen over timber in January. Cocohulababy won a maiden hurdle here in September and her three subsequent runs were over a trip too far, on Polytrack and over fences so she looks a threat back over this trip. MOONBALL (NAP) was returning from a very long break when attracting some support and winning impressively here last month. She's up 8lb but has a much higher rating over fences and looks the one to beat.
