PLAY SMARTER

Race Summary: PUMPKIN’S PRIDE took a big step back in the right direction when third at Doncaster in February, shaping as if ready for a step up in trip, so he can build on that effort to open his account this time around. Dynamic Kate showed much improved form in 2022/23 and is feared most on her return, ahead of Dellboy Trotter
