Verdict

ENRILO travelled much like the best horse when first past the post in this last year off 1 lb lower but was subsequently disqualified for hanging into the fast-finishing Kitty's Light, which handed the race to the untroubled Potterman. There shouldn't be much to choose between them again with all 3 arriving at the top of their game, but Enrilo is better off at the weights so is taken to make amends. Win My Wings is another obvious contender after her romp in the Scottish National 3 weeks ago.

  1. ENRILO (FR)
  2. KITTY'S LIGHT
  3. WIN MY WINGS (IRE)
