PLAY SMARTER
This is best left to TWIG, who at least matched the useful level of form he has shown over fences when a clear second in a Cheltenham novice on his recent debut in this sphere. This drop in trip is unlikely to pose a problem and a mere reproduction of that effort would make him very hard to beat. Horn Cape gets the nod ahead of Ajp Kingdom for forecast purposes.
