Formscan By John O'Riordan - THE ENABLER should be very hard to beat on his first start over hurdles. A dual bumper winner last season, the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding won in Listed company at Navan in December. Far from disgraced when fifth in a Grade 2 bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival on his final outing, he looks a class apart here. A strong stayer on the Flat, Jabbar would be a threat if taking to jumping. The Gerard O'Leary-trained five-year-old, who improved throughout the season, has the potential to make up into a nice hurdler for connections. Thurles bumper winner Blaze The Way will find this easier, having been set a stiff task before ultimately pulling up in a Grade 2 hurdle on his first start over flights.
