PLAY SMARTER

Race Summary: JOBESGREEN LAD is still on the upgrade judged on his clear-cut win over C&D just before Christmas so is taken to complete the hat-trick and enhance his excellent record around here. Rose Sea Has was an excellent second at Hereford 9 days ago and is the obvious threat off the same mark.
