PLAY SMARTER

Though THE TRAMPOLINIST failed to fire on her latest start at Warwick, she is of strong interest back up in trip here based on the promise of her efforts last winter. She could be on a good mark and is marginally preferred to Storm Hill, who landed a maiden hurdle here last season and should have a part to play if able to put his reappearance departure behind him. Mr Jack also enters calculations off an appealing mark, while Gerico Ville and Henschke are others to consider. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.THE TRAMPOLINIST (IRE) 2.STORM HILL (IRE) 3.MR JACK (IRE)
