PLAY SMARTER

A weakish maiden which can go to SPIRITOFTHENORTH, a recent winner on the Flat who showed enough in 3 hurdle starts before the turn of the year to be of interest for a race such as this. Patagonia has shown promise both starts at Sedgefield and remains open to improvement sporting a tongue strap/cheekpieces combination, while Scudamore and Quiet Flow are others who could get involved.
