PLAY SMARTER

Not a strong maiden hurdle so it looks a good chance for UP FOR APPEAL to go one place better having made a promising start to his hurdles career at Newbury. Wonderweasle is the obvious threat, though Angel’s Dream is capable of better.

SANDALWOOD took a big step forward when landing a Taunton handicap last month only to lose the race in the stewards’ room but he can gain compensation here with blinkers now replacing cheekpieces. Hello Sunshine got back on track on his first run for George Baker with a recent third here and is next on the list now stepping up in trip. Exeter third Barrowmount and handicap debutant Strictlyasoldier complete the shortlist.
