Verdict
Yala Enki has his first run over fences in this country but won twice in France and is still only a six-year-old. So is Vieux Lille, who makes his handicap debut on a decent mark. Old-timer Carrigdhoun has been in good form but the handicapper may not have yet reeled in TRICKAWAY, who made a winning start for Malcolm Jefferson at Kelso despite running around in the closing stages – he was value for more than the winning margin. Corrin Wood reverts to chasing after a couple of decent runs over hurdles while Aintree second Baileys Concerto is tried in blinkers. Aerlite Supreme has the past form to figure but hasn’t won a race in more than two years.
