PLAY SMARTER

PLANNED PARADISE was on the up over fences when last seen coming in runner-up at Perth in July and remains on a winning mark so looks the way to go here. Bells of Peterboro has been dropped 4lb on the back of his encouraging debut fourth over fences at Ayr so is next on the list ahead of chasing-newcomer Don Alvaro.
