PLAY SMARTER
A few in with chances but the vote goes to LAVORANTE. Gary Moore’s charge showed plenty of promise when finishing third on his hurdling debut at Fontwell back in March and, with improvement likely and the yard in red-hot form, he’s taken to score second time up. Olly Murphy has a couple with leading chances and his Lupus Regem is narrowly preferred for the forecast spot over Bombs Away. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.LAVORANTE (IRE) 2.LUPUS REGEM 3.BOMBS AWAY (IRE)
