Enlighten has been consistent enough since returning from a break and should be thereabouts again. He holds Casamari Abbey on recent Sedgefield running. Three Castles won on the Flat here in September but hasn’t really taken to hurdles and was behind the younger Go Bob Go at Ayr last month. Mike Smith’s four-year-old will be aiming to go one better here but SOMEWHAT CLOUDY is on a decent mark for his handicap debut and can get back to winning ways.
