He made all the running to win a 7f Kempton handicap for Simon Crisford before joining Stuart Williams.
It was disappointing to see him run out of it close home at today’s track in January having moved like the best horse for most of the race.
He again looked like a drop to this 6f trip would help at Kempton last time and the switch to sprinting should do the trick.
VASCO D’YCY (3.25 Carlisle, nb) is well weighted on his form from a couple of years ago.
He missed last season but ran a promising race on his return from a long break at Ayr last month.
Templegate's Treble Selection
NAP – ENTHAAR, 5.55 Chelmsford: "A winner at 7f on polytrack. Finished fourth of 6 on his latest outing at Kempton over 7f last month."
NB – VASCO D’YCY, 3.25 Carlisle: "He has won three hurdle races and a NH flat race from 1m 4f to 2m 5f on ground varying from good to heavy, but last win was over two years ago."
TREBLE – PEAK TO PEAK, 2.10 Wincanton: "He has won three hurdle races from 2m 3f to 2m 4f on good to firm and soft ground. Pulled up 2 out when 11-4fav over this course on his latest outing."
PEAK TO PEAK (2.10 Wincanton, treble) looked a great prospect early last season when splitting Sam Spinner and Wholestone in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow.
I thought he ran ok before getting tired on his first race since and that should have helped his fitness.
