PLAY SMARTER

A few with chances but CHECK MY PULSE really caught the eye when a fast-finishing fourth at Hexham last time and can capitalise on an easing mark. Irish-challenger Monoxide could emerge as the main danger, with Jackhammer and Pittsburg appealing as the pick of the rest in the fight for minor honours.
