PLAY SMARTER

OHNODONTTAKEMEHOME seemed to gradually get the hang of hurdling in his qualifying runs and has a lenient mark based on bumper ability so he’s the suggestion. Big Jimbo arrives in form from AW Flat and rates an obvious danger back hurdling for the Gary Moore team. Hunting Brook is another who could take a step forward now handicapping for the first time in this sphere and also makes the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER

It could be worth chancing CAPTAIN TOM CAT, a Grade 2 winner last term who lurks on a very good mark and who will appreciate these sounder conditions for a stable that has really turned the corner after a poor spell. Black Gerry bounced back to form with a bang at Ascot last weekend and is sure to be popular for Gary Moore. War Lord is back down in class having run at the Cheltenham Festival and is a big threat.
