22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Six-time hurdle winner, most recently in five-runner race at Worcester (2m7f, soft) last month; still on workable mark after recent 3lb rise but needs to bounce back from poor Flat run 12 days ago. |
8/1 |

10th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Won his latest race over hurdles two weeks ago and that after finishing runner-up on the Flat (2m1f); clearly in good order and won't mind this ground. |

27th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Consistent under both codes since joining the Flints, narrowly missing out at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in July; similarly close second the last time a stayers' trip was tried in March 2023 off 6lb higher; chance. |

7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Doesn't win too often on the Flat these days but he has been placed on his last two starts, chasing home Seraphic at Chelmsford four weeks ago (1m2f); each-way claims again. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Prolific winning hurdler who opened AW account with clear win in amateur riders' race at Chelmsford in June; returned to the Flat with two below-par runs at Kempton this month, though, and has only dropped 1lb. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Dangerous off this mark on peak hurdle form but finished last on the Flat only recently after a long absence; trip/ground fine but has some questions to answer. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won a 1m6f AW handicap off 1lb higher on his yard debut in November 2022; better known as a quite useful handicap hurdler since but he hasn't been seen since finishing a creditable third at Perth in August 2024; chance he'll be using this as a prep ahead of a return to hurdles but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Got the better of Quaresome (who runs in the 5.35pm) and Castel Gandolfo when scoring at Market Rasen (2m, good) in June; however, the tables were turned (weakened into seventh, beaten over 10l) in the valuable Summer Handicap Hurdle the following month; yet to taste success from this mark. |

Record of 0-5 since switched to fences but turn looks near, having finished second at Wetherby and Newbury the last twice; however, needs some improvement to go one better in this stronger grade. |

30th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |

A French winner over this far; had wind surgery before pulling up on stable debut in a handicap and underwent the same procedure ahead of another quiet run at Doncaster two weeks ago; cheekpieces added. |

15th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Pulled up at 22-1 on stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) in October; however, this French winner (2m3f, good to soft) has had a wind op since; one to watch in the betting now back on less testing ground. |

12th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 3 |

Placed in two of his three starts for new stable; remains on career-high mark but Lewis Stones takes off a useful 3lb and record of 1-1 at Taunton bodes well; in the mix. |
8/1 |

12th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 3 |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |

3-10 over hurdles; arguably posted career-best form when second on stable debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in May but ran no race when dropped back to 2m at Stratford last month; needs to put that performance behind him. |

Inconsistent and unraced beyond 2m4f but was found to be lame when well beaten here last month and he scored at Bangor (2m3f, good) the time before; won here (2m, good) last season and not written off today. |

Has very mixed record since winning four-runner juvenile hurdle here a year ago but doubled his tally with hard-fought success at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month and has the services of Sean Bowen again here. |

Verdict
Although a Flat winner on soft two years ago, a sound surface has appeared so fundamental to Enthused’s recent hot streak that the prospect of racing on the worst of the day’s rain-softened ground limits appeal more than the third outing in nine days. Edison Kent (next best) is preferred of the James Owen duo, but he in turn is passed over in favour of BASHERS REFLECTION, still posting career-best RPRs in victory when last seen, including over C&D (soft).
