PLAY SMARTER
HANG IN THERE’s jumping has often been a weakness over hurdles, but he possesses the most ability in this 3-runner field and should be tough to beat if able to avoid errors. Wild Max was also above average as a hurdler and presents the only obvious danger. Treacys Jim is out of his depth.
