Enhancer, Adjami and Decisive look the three to concentrate on in this novices hurdle and the vote is given to Enhancer. The selection won well last time out when beating Brooklyn Brownie and although he has a penalty for that win he looks a progressive type and he is taken to win again under conditions that suit. Adjami rates the main danger on his latest second behind State Of Play last time out. However although he traveled well he found very little off the bridal and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Decisive is another that could go well as he also won well last time out when beating Screenplay. He is one of the least exposed in the field and has plenty of scope for improvement and he should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Award Me An Oscar is from a shrewd yard but has been disappointing in two runs to date and may need more time and for the winner we return to Enhancer.
