PLAY SMARTER
A winner on the Flat at Lingfield in June, VAN MEEGEREN matched his previous best over hurdles when finding only one too good at Stratford last month and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix again. Nicky Henderson’s First Street, who scored at Bangor recently, is an obvious threat, ahead of The Brimming Water.
