FormscanBy Tom Weekes - THE ENABLER was beaten as the 1/9 favourite in a recent maiden hurdle but is better than that showing and while he would prefer soft ground, remains promising. An ex-point-to-pointer and a Listed bumper winner, he threw away his Galway race behind the pacier Flat-type winner as he immaturely hung and jumped left, but should be more effective over this distance. Paggane can be depended upon to run her usual solid race on suitable ground. There was no disgrace in failing to concede 4lb to a subsequent Listed winner at Listowel in September but might find an on-song selection too strong. Jumping Susie likes good ground and while she won easily at Kelso, faces a tougher task.
