      Verdict

      Enitsag might be vulnerable off top weight so we opt for Lord Ville. Enitsag has shown a tendency to hang of late, leading to his form plateauing and, as we say, that could leave him vulnerable. Lord Ville, meanwhile, ran a stinker on his handicap debut last time but, the time before, he had looked progressive the time before and we are prepared to forgive him that aberration. Investor Relations is a course and distance winner, but that was in a seller, he lacks a recent run, and is now seven pounds higher in the ratings. Indian Star won a Stratford maiden hurdle the time-before-last but was well beaten on his handicap bow. The bottom three in the line-up are all racing from out of the handicap. Overall, then, Lord Ville can be another winner for what could have proven a very good day for jockey Richard Johnson.
