PLAY SMARTER

Following a luckless debut, MANILA SCOUSE showed what he’s capable of when runner-up at Chester a fortnight ago and that performance marks him out as the one to beat. Greenbarn was clearly thought capable of better starting out at Beverley and can improve, with Barneys Gift another to consider on his French form.

TIMEFORM VIEW Having been gelded, improvement was forthcoming when making a winning nursery bow at Redcar TFRHHIII BHA73 (7f, good) last month. Too free at Kempton next time, though, and he looks vulnerable.

PLAY SMARTER

FIFTYSHADESARESDEV has put in good late work over 6f here the last twice and, with the strong possibility of better to come now moving back up to a mile, he could be the answer to this competitive nursery. Another with scope for improvement is Shabano, who is feared on the back of his Epsom near miss and with Ryan Moore aboard. Reelemin and Ripon winner Young Winston are others to consider.

PLAY SMARTER

Ralph Beckett has a good record in this Listed event and his WESTOVER can add to that after posting a fairly useful second at Newbury when still looking far from the finished article. Both Grenoble and Approachability have better days ahead of them too and will ensure Beckett’s promising Frankel colt doesn’t have things all his own way in a fascinating juvenile contest.

PLAY SMARTER

The vote goes to RAYONG, who evidently likes it here having scored over C&D on his first visit in 2020 and he found just the one too good back at this course last month. Karl Burke’s charge remains on a very dangerous mark. Black Friday won’t be inconvenienced by the drop back to 5f and he is feared, along with last year’s winner, John Kirkup, the 2017 winner Van Gerwen and Ey Up It’s Maggie.
