PLAY SMARTER

TENFOLD has got better with experience over hurdles, running right up to his best when runner-up in a Plumpton maiden 4 weeks ago and a repeat should see him play a lead role once more here. Arctic Saint wasn’t seen to best effect on his only start in bumpers late last year and better can be expected now switched to timber, with Jack The Savage completing the shortlist.
