Enrilo ‘ready to run for his life’ in bet365 Gold Cup redemption bid Paul Nicholls believes Enrilo is “ready to run for his life” as returns to Sandown for another crack at the bet365 Gold Cup. The eight-year-old was first past the post in 2021 only to be demoted after the stewards judged he had impeded Kitty’s Light in the finish. Enrilo was moved to third place, with second across the line Potterman promoted to the win and Kitty’s Light placed second. All three will clash again in the last big jumps event of the British season, with Nicholls having had the race in mind ever since and he has campaigned Enrilo all year with the goal of returning to Sandown. “He won the race last year, he’s been trained with this race in mind all year,” he said. “He schooled on Thursday morning and I was really pleased with him, he looked really sharp. He’s ready to run for his life.”
