ENIPEUS was not travelling all that sweetly early on and needed a couple of reminders from Tony McCoy before he put his mind to the job in hand.
But he was in command four out and turned the race into a procession from the next as Wave Rock, tackling this trip for the first time, came off the bridle and could make no further impression on the favourite.
Trainer Martin Pipe's son David said of Enipeus: "He was on and off the bridle early on, but Tony got him going and he did it well in the end on the soft ground that he needs to show his form."

To the north-east of'this, where, a portion of the great plain begins to run up into the mountains, the Plain of Pharsalia is formed, which is intersected by the river Enipeus; and still farther in the same direction is the scene of another great battle, Cynoscephalae.

 The Battle of Pharsalus, 48 BC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Meanwhile, Pompey had rejoined his own forces with those under Metellus Scipio and followed Caesar southwest into Greece towards the plains of a small trading town named Pharsalus, at the crossroads of major east-west trade routes (some historians, including Hirtius, claim it was Palaepharsalus or "old Pharsalus" a few miles away).
Caesar had pitched camp on the plain outside the town, on the north bank of the Enipeus, after a harsh seven-day march.
Fuller accepts Hirtius' and other historians' arguments that the battle was actually closer to "old Pharsalus" than the newer town, but the configuration of line of battle along the River Enipeus remains the same.

Probably a fair novice hurdle by Fontwell standards, and debutant ENIPEUS was most impressive, much more so than the bare result suggests.
The effort of quickening so far out off what had been a strongish pace understandably started to tell from there onwards, and Enipeus ploughed through what is normally the second last (the last flight was dolled off) and needed driving right out in the end.
But while his jumping left something to be desired and he eventualy finished tired, the way he quickened clear in mid-race left a big impression and he looks worth following.

The Nile itself, the mighty river that through seven mouths flows to the sea and hides so well the secret of its source, could not with all its waters overwhelm the flame with which he burned for Evadne, Asopus' daughter.
Enipeus, so he might embrace the daughter of Salmoneus, commanded his waters to recede, and, obedient to his command, those waters did recede.
