Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

GOOD TOO: Following its run on 19/2/2024 it was reported that the horse jumped left-handed from stalls.

PLAY SMARTER

ISLE OF SARK seemingly needs everything to fall right but he was a pretty big eye-catcher when third held up in a steadily-run race at Southwell 12 days ago and he looks ready to strike. Cello probably needed the run on his return to action and he seems sure to leave that effort behind, with Fast Steps another to consider on reappearance.
