PLAY SMARTER

GUERNESEY is well treated when Jack Martin’s 10lb claim is taken into account and this reliable 6-y-o can deservedly get his head back in front. Nicky Henderson’s Farouk de Cheneau got his career back on track at Wincanton last time and is feared most ahead of the hat-trick seeking Mourzouk.
