PLAY SMARTER

Joe Tizzard has his string in excellent nick so his one-time top-notch chaser LOSTINTRANSLATION is taken to capitalise on an attractive mark and go in at the first time of asking for the second season running. Ballyandy is feared most if building on his Perth third with Forgot To Ask another who needs considering in an open veterans’ handicap.
