PLAY SMARTER

It probably wasn’t the strongest of Grade 2 events in which SAINT RIQUIER hit the crossbar at Cheltenham last month, but it was a fine effort nonetheless and a reproduction of that will make him hard to beat here. With Graystone failing to build on his hurdles debut promise last time, intriguing Flat recruits Vazir and Coolnaugh Haze may emerge as the main dangers.

PLAY SMARTER

Moving back up in trip will help ITALIAN SPIRIT, who put in a good shift when third on his handicap debut over 19f here last time. That form is solid and the 5-y-o should have more to offer on what will be just his fourth start over hurdles. Jaytee shaped encouragingly back from a lengthy absence at Chepstow and he is second choice ahead of Glimpse of Gala, Lamanver Bel Ami and Rabski.

PLAY SMARTER

A case can be made for all of these mares, but the most persuasive one is for LITTLE RIVER BAY who posted a borderline useful effort when scoring at Uttoxeter last month and can make it 3-3 over fences now. The Glancing Queen impressed when going in at the first time of asking in this sphere at Bangor and is feared most, although Irish raider Kapard is not taken lightly in a cracking contest.

PLAY SMARTER

An interesting novices’ handicap chase in which a chance is taken on lightly-raced DOCK ROAD. He needs to show the benefit of his return/chase debut effort last month but his form over hurdles last season contained substance and he’s very much the type to do better. Naizagai, in first-time blinkers and low-mileage chase debutante Starvoski are a couple of others to consider.

PLAY SMARTER

WALK ON HIGH was strong in the betting and duly showed plenty to work on when fourth at Chepstow just over 5 weeks ago, doing best of those ridden prominently.

With that experience under his belt, he gets the nod to score second time up.

Houvari, Armchair Farmer and Altinak all have plenty to recommend them on paper in a race where the market is sure to be informative.
