Draytonian started favourite for a bumper at Warwick in March but weakened off the home turn and may need more time. ENNISTOWN was beaten at Stratford on his hurdling debut in May but put that experience to good use at Worcester next time and beat a subsequent winner at the same track in July. He's had a short break but is difficult to oppose here, despite giving away 8lb to his rivals. Charmix is better than he showed at Aintree in May and has more scope than most.
