PLAY SMARTER

BRAVE KINGDOM looked a bright prospect when winning his first two starts and, although he came up short in a Grade 2 at Sandown last time, he was far from disgraced, so he’s capable of doubling his tally over hurdles back in calmer waters. Last Royal’s third at Chepstow on his last completed outing is very strong form, so he’s feared most.
