PLAY SMARTER

An interesting novice in which PRINCE IMPERIAL, a useful and prolific winner on the level, could be up to making a successful start over hurdles. Howlingmadmurdock landed a Fontwell bumper in good style on his debut in February and is very much one to note now going hurdling for his new yard, while others to take seriously are Ebonello, who won snugly at Wincanton last month, and bumper-winner Diamond Egg.
