Enola: Inconsistent jumper and didn’t look a natural or fully committed. I’ve mentioned her pedigree being a cause for concern before and I’d be doubtful she’ll progress to the top tier.
Tullyhill: Absolute muck all round. Yes he whacked one near the finish but I don’t think it made a difference. I only ever had interest in him for the AB (backed), but there would have to be a valid excuse for today if he’s going to feature in anything of that level.
Readin Tommy Wrong: Jumped efficiently in the main although occasionally out to the left at times. Came with his challenge strongly and looked well on top before a big jump at the last took away his momentum. Rallied well and definitely worth a look up in grade with a stronger pace.

Yeah, Tullyhill got super tight to pretty much every hurdle. Some of the side-on angles made it look like he was essentially stepping over the hurdle at one or two, he got that close. There was one about halfway through the race where Townend asked for a leap from him and he wasn't having any of it. The same happened again at the 3rd last (I think) when he was asked to jump by Shannon Royale and take control of the race. Went left at each flight throughout and the bubble truly burst in the straight, for me.
