PLAY SMARTER
CAPTAIN MARVELLOUS will find this a good deal easier than the Adonis he contested when last seen and he’s fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Marlacoo was impressive on debut in a bumper at Down Royal and he rates an above-average hurdles prospect, with point recruit Cherry Brave one to monitor in the market

Seeminglythe choice ofHarrySkelton, he can getthe betterofstablemate Ronnies Rules, who bagged a hat-trick in bumpers at Stratford over the summer Diamond Geezer, who hasn’t been seen since his debut 10 months ago, can edge out Don Virginia for third.

Those with hudling experience don’t set the bar too high so this could rest between the newcomers with Dan Skelton’s winning Irish pointer LADYJAGO taken to go in at the first time of asking. Stablemate Hill Of Scarriff, also successful in the poining field, could emerge as the main danger with another debutante Jayapura also in the mix. An Cailin Ciuin appeals as the pick of those with form on the board for minor honours

LONG DRAW looks capable of better again for in-form Olly Murphy and can gain compensation for last month’s Worcester near miss. Guard The Moon and Panhandle Slim appeal as possible improvers now moving into handicap company on their return to action, while Dan Skelton’s Don Hollow is another lightly-raced sort who likely has his best days ahead of him.

GOD’S OWN GETAWAY is highly progressive as a chaser and still looked ahead of his mark when last seen at Perth almost 4 months ago, so he’s preferred to Finn Lough, who is open to improvement as a chaser Jeffery’s Cross is also worthy of consideration if the market speaks in his favour
