PLAY SMARTER

The vote goes to MAKETH BELIEVETH, who posted his best eﬀort yet when worn down close home by an upwardly mobile ﬁlly at Newbury in October. That was just his third start on turf, so there could easily be better to come from this 4-y-o and he will surely go close if fully tuned-up for this assignment. Recent Doncaster 1-2 Ghadbbaan and Champagne Terri are both greatly respected, while Let Her Loose also has claims.

PLAY SMARTER

Though it’s slightly concerning that Kevin Stott appears to have deserted MAS PODER in favour of Fast And Loose, the former will be hard to beat if reproducing form akin to her debut fourth in a Listed race at York last spring. She was well held in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot next time, but this is is a far easier assignment. Mattice is next on the list ahead of Liangel Hope.

CONERSTONE LAD is a much better hurdler/chaser than he is Flat horse, but he’s still capable from this sort of mark as he showed at Redcar in November and could be the way to go on just his second try beyond 2m in this code. Wynford and Mukha Magic head the dangers.

PLAY SMARTER

SOUL STOPPER was reeled in close home by a promising winning newcomer of Charlie Appleby’s at Newmarket when last seen. That was a big step up from him and he’s just the type to progress further this year. He gets the vote over Savvy Victory, who holds Dante/Derby entries and kept some good company last season.
