      In depth

      Verdict

      This looks a very poor renewal and the 16-year-old Enniskillen, who is 1-27 around here, slipped up on the track on Tuesday. He was beaten 21 lengths behind REWRITETHERULES on the point-to-point track here last February with Alpha Male, who won this in 2018, 4 lengths in front of him. The latter is expected to get closer over these obstacles but the winner looks the one to be on. Beyond Redemption has been beaten a long way in two hunter-chases in recent weeks.
