PLAY SMARTER

MARK THE MAN gets the nod on the assumption that Tango Arumba, who is due to run at Uttoxeter on Thursday evening, doesn’t go to post. The selection looked booked for second place when unseating his rider at the last on his sole start between the flags and makes his Rules debut in what looks a very winnable race. Theharderyouwork could be the one for the forecast, again assuming that Tango Arumba doesn’t take her chance. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.MARK THE MAN (IRE) 2.THEHARDERYOUWORK (IRE) 3.TANGO ARUMBA (IRE)
