PLAY SMARTER

LIKE A TIGER created a fine impression when winning on the Rowley Mile in April and is probably betterthan he was able to show in a listed contest here on that course last time. He gets the verdict dropped back into a handicap, though Godolphin’s handicap newcomer First Sight will surely prove a stern rival, with the hat-trick seeking Peace Man and The Parent others to consider in a hot contest
