FORWARD FLIGHT: Following its run on 1/11/2022 it was reported that the horse lost both fore shoes. POSTMARK: Following its run on 15/9/2022 it was reported that the horse ran flat.

PLAY SMARTER POSTMARK is the most persuasive option given he was the best of these on the Flat and represents a yard that does well with its juvenile hurdlers. Him Malaya shaped best on his debut in this sphere at Newton Abbot in October and seems sure to improve, while Samuel Spade and Chaos Control are other hurdling newcomers to note.
