PLAY SMARTER

HOOPER unseated at the last with the race at his mercy on his chase debut at Stratford 3 weeks ago and the improving youngster should make amends here with Nico de Boinville back up. Shang Tang is a useful hurdler who could do even better over the larger obstacles this season and he’s an interesting rival. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.HOOPER 2.SHANG TANG (IRE) 3.SOME DAY SOON (IRE)
