PLAY SMARTER

GUSTAVIAN shaped well under a considerate ride when third on his reappearance/ chase debut at Uttoxeter, form which was done no harm when the runner-up there also found just one too good at Newbury on Wednesday. He is entitled to come on for that run and earns the narrow vote ahead of Broken Halo, who made a similarly promising start over fences at Chepstow. Longshanks also merits respect.

Third Race

GAMARET will likely excel over longer trips than this over hurdles but he has been found a weak-looking contest on the back of a bumper win and he will take some stopping. Judicial Law has to be better than we’ve seen so far over obstacles and is feared most.

PLAY SMARTER

LASKALIN is yet to show much in a couple of starts for Venetia Williams, but he won 3 times over fences in France so he can get his act together here and notch a first win on these shores sneaking into this 0-130 contest. Gosheven needed the experience when runner-up on his chase debut over C&D 6 weeks ago so he’s feared most with improvement on the cards, ahead of Tide Times.

PLAY SMARTER

Jeremy Scott looks to have a couple of strong fancies in this and his lightly-raced DRASH ON RUBY gets the verdict to make a winning handicap debut. She’s shaped with promise in a couple of starts over timber and an opening mark of 101 could prove to be lenient. Stablemate Kissesforkatie heads the dangers having stepped up on her reappearance at Sandown 4 weeks ago, ahead of Runasimi River.

PLAY SMARTER

BEN BULBEN has an eye-catching pedigree and represents a stable that should have him ready to go, so he gets the marginal vote ahead of Dom Bosco, who shaped well first time out. Knowsley Road, an expensive purchase from points, is another one to consider starting out under Rules for a top yard.
