Enrique looked to be on the way back at Market Rasen last weekend and he looks to have a sound chance to get back on the winning track. A decent chaser at his best, he looked as though he had lost his confidence over the larger obstacles after a couple of lack-lustre displays. Returned to hurdles, he showed a bit more enthusiasm than of late when staying on stoutly in the latter stages behind Sovereign, giving him lumps of weight. There were some in-form performers behind him there and this looks an easier task. Do It On Dani is well treated on the best of his form, but the problem is it is a while since he showed it. The ex-Irish Bob's Gone was partnered by Richard Johnson when winning at Stratford, but is discarded this time in favour of Enrique, while the old-timer Derring Bridge has won at least one race a year since 1995, but is running out of time this year if he is to keep that run going. This looks a shade more competitive a contest than he is use to tackling, and will have to wait for another day. Enrique is the class act here and he should have little difficulty adding to his tally.
