ENNISTOWN (NAP) could not have been more impressive over course and distance 17 days ago and is hard to oppose in this follow-up attempt. He was a useful sort on the level for Godolphin and has taken well to his new discipline. Black Iceman caused a 33-1 shock when winning over course and distance on debut but he'll have his work cut out to follow-up against the selection to whom he was rated a massive 50lb or so inferior on the Flat. Bumble Bay was well behind Black Iceman on that occasion so The Western Force may be an each-way option as he's surely better than he showed on a dismal hurdles debut after showing shafts of form in bumper company.
