PLAY SMARTER

It’s hard to look beyond ROARING RALPH, who quickly put the race to bed when coming from off the pace to open his account in first-time blinkers at Redcar last week. He is a step ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty. Starlight Nation was only a length adrift of the winner Bird of Play at Haydock 12 days ago and, armed with a 2lb pull, he is taken to reverse those placings and grab the silver medal
