Shorter trip should be in Enroller’s favour

ENROLLER’S National Hunt career has not yet taken off as might have been expected, but he is an interesting contender for the Nomad Novices’ Hurdle at Leicester today.

William Muir’s inmate was a Group Three winner on the Flat in his pomp and although he failed to reach those heights in 2011, the seven-year-old still ran well enough to suggest he should be a force in this sphere.

He was a major disappointment on his hurdling debut at Folkestone in early December, but his latest effort at Taunton was a big step forward, as he was not beaten all that far into fifth.
