Verdict

ENQARDE, who has had wind surgery since pulling up in the Grand National Trial here, continues to look well treated on the form of his easy Tommy Whittle success over C&D and can bring to an end the winning run of Bavington Bob. The excellent form of the Jonjo O'Neill stable also earns Quartz du Rheu a place on the shortlist.
