ENTHUSED is fit from the Flat and returns to this sphere off a tempting mark down in class. His stablemate Forget The Way may emerge as the main threat ahead of the in-form Dickens.

Has done well for this yard but out of form since winning at Market Rasen in August (aided by omitted fences). Bit to prove back over hurdles now.
