PLAY SMARTER

TARAS HALLS overcame greenness to make a winning start over C&D so Lucy Wadham’s Yeats gelding can take a step forward and defy his 7lb penalty at the chief expense of Worcester scorer Roger Pol. Ledders is the other winner in the line-up and he can’t be discounted either, with Mersey Street and Uncle Mac two newcomers to consider too.
