PLAY SMARTER

PRIORY WOOD could be interesting on his first go in a handicap chase. There was promise over hurdles and he’s dropped a bit further in the weights now sent over fences with Richie McLernon taking over from an amateur. Take the hint if he’s backed. Eros and Forget You Not have experience over the larger obstacles and must be respected in this field. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.PRIORY WOOD (IRE) 2.EROS (FR) 3.FORGET YOU NOT (FR)
