PLAY SMARTER
ROMAIN DE SENAM has been working his way back to form in his 3 starts for David Pipe and is now racing off his last winning mark. The 10-y-o ran well when runner-up at Uttoxeter 4 days ago so can quickly go one better. Seddon looks to be the main danger having scored over 21f here last month, while Indy Five could bounce back if able to get his way out in front again.
