Verdict
Smurphy Enki will be a short-priced favourite if taking his chance but was due to run in yesterday’s Tolworth Hurdle at Sandown. IRON MIKE, a winner on the Flat, has run a couple of decent races at Wincanton over hurdles and a drop back to 2m should be in his favour. Bay Of Intrigue may be improving and Picturesque View is probably open to more improvement than most.
