Tupelo Mississippi let his favorite supporters in Carlisle out last time but I’m willing to give him another chance. That match in an incomplete ride didn’t play to his strengths but he danced well until he was left behind by a calmer opponent.
Brian Ellison’s gelding is treated fairly on his best hurdles form and has always been seen as the type of guy who will do even better in the field.
Glory and fortune failed to complete a hat-trick in the Greatwood Hurdle but it was still a fair effort, as he went on to claim a respectable sixth, despite lacking the gears to seriously threaten.
His previous form against Ffos Las was boosted as runner-up Dans Le Vent took a valuable handicap at Haydock on Saturday and Tom Lacey has more to offer at this new distance.
Dollar Dingo finished third in the 2018 Ladbrokes Trophy as coached by Alan King and the changing surroundings sparked a resurgence last season with a close second in the Scottish Grand National. He ran as if the outing was necessary in Kelso last month and will now be back at peak fitness.
Onemorefortheroad has made giants strides this year and might be able to upstage some highly touted rivals in this handicap. He was rated just 113 when scoring at Huntingdon in March but has kept defying the handicapper and was never seriously challenged when adding a fourth hurdles success four weeks ago.
Enrilo can see off a strong Irish raiding party in the Ladbrokes Trophy. Paul Nicholls’ charge had a tooth problem last winter that can excuse a flop at Kempton on Boxing Day but he ended the campaign on an upward curve and was first-past-the-post when last seen at Sandown in April.
He will have his preferred decent surface and as an unexposed second-season chaser, he has the ideal profile.
Not So Sleepy didn’t make it past the first obstacle in last year’s renewal but i can see him gaining redemption this time around. He wasn’t far behind Epatante in the Champion Hurdle and looked as good as ever when returning to action on the flat at Doncaster recently, finishing second in a 1m6f handicap that wasn’t run to suit.
Eclair D’Ainay won two novice handicaps at around this sort of trip last season and it looked as though a slightly longer trip was beyond him at Wetherby last time out, as he travelled into contention but couldn’t pick up close home. He will be at peak fitness now and this is also a slight drop in grade.
