PLAY SMARTER REE OKKA confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut second behind Gelino Bello at Aintree when running out a good winner of a Chepstow novice (19.5f) last month and, with the prospect of more to come, he can follow up. Milan Bridge is another bright prospect and feared with the step up to 3m a likely plus. Pilot Show completes the shortlist.
