PLAY SMARTER

EVALUATION and El Picador have done well in this series and could be the pair to focus on, with Keith Dalgleish’s likeable 4-y-o taken to notch up another victory back from a break. His stablemate has been kept busy and can go well again, while Aggagio has been in superb form under both codes this season and has more to offer on the Flat, so looks a big player.
