PLAY SMARTER

QUICK DRAW remains with the potential to improve beyond this mark as a hurdler, and having been well-backed over fences on debut for Nicky Henderson last time, he’s one to keep on the right side returning to his preferred sphere. The Macon Lugnatic can pose the biggest danger, though Emitom possesses the ability to outclass these if regaining any sort of form.
