PLAY SMARTER

A first taste of success could be on the cards for DOIREANN, who found some improvement on her first start following a wind operation when a clear second on her reappearance at Fakenham. It will be interesting to see how Coronado Joe responds to the addition of cheekpieces, as he would have a serious chance off this mark if the headgear were to spark a return to form. Handicap debutants Getaway Tom and Wind of Fortune both need a second look in the betting, particularly the former. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.DOIREANN (IRE) 2.CORONADO JOE 3.GETAWAY TOM (IRE)
