Multiple Group 1 winners returning to racing in the depths of winter are a harness racing rarity but so are superstar horses who haven't raced for nearly three years.
Enghien finds himself representing both those elite groups when he makes his comeback off a 30m handicap in race five at Addington tonight and his enormous break from racing is why driver Ben Hope warns punters to be careful.
The eight-year-old hasn't started since October 2019, his outstanding career curtailed by a hind suspensory issue.
Before that Enghien had been the outstanding three-year-old of his crop, winning both trotting derbies and the Jewels while at four he was good enough to finish second in the Group 1 Anzac Cup.
Hind suspensory injuries are very tricky in trotters and Hope says that has meant a change of training regime, including less beach work.
