More quantity that quality in this opener and the market is likely to prove a good guide. ENFORCEMENT has been chasing but returns to hurdling on a 12lb lower mark than when recording his only win so far at Plumpton last March. He is just preferred to Catchmeifyoucan, who has been dropped 3lb since her fourth at Hereford having finished second earlier at Bangor. Jessica Rabbit keeps plugging away and, though now 0-11, has place claims again. Ballyfarsoon may be the pick of the remainder.
