Verdict

Martin Pipe and Tony McCoy were in winning form on Wednesday and barring divine intervention should have this opener wrapped up with Enitsag. The French-bred four-year-old was a winner here in bumper company and appreciated the fast ground when scoring over hurdles at Newton Abbot the time before last. He wore cheekpieces when surprisingly touched off there last time, but maybe the soft ground did not help. Even so, this is definitely a forecast job, with Warminghamsharpish booked for second place despite his absence from the track.
