PLAY SMARTER

LIBRA TIGER found only one who had fallen plenty in the weights too strong when runner-up over this trip at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and a repeat should see him play a lead role operating from the same mark. Sassy Redhead, back from a break, and Windsor-scorer Raven’s Applause head up the dangers
