B Frau U. u. J. Imm TIMEFORM VIEW Fair ex-German Flat winner. No form of note in qualifying runs over hurdles but proved a different proposition making handicap debut when easily winning over C&D 17 days ago. Can defy 9lb rise. TFRHHHHH BHA84

PLAY SMARTER

SERGEANT proved a different proposition making his handicap debut from just out of the weights when beating 13 rivals over C&D last month and the manner of victory suggests he can defy a 9lb rise. Easkey Lad arrives in top form so rates the main threat ahead of Flamenco de Kerser, who can improve again now handicapping.
