PLAY SMARTER
START IN FRONT showed some fairly useful winning Flat form in France and in this sphere so is fancied to capitalise on the weight he receives from winners Jipekaa Machin and Casi Crudo here and make a winning start for Rebecca Menzies. Donald McCain and Alex Hales’ juveniles rate big threats though and can follow home the selection in that order. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.START IN FRONT (FR) 2.JIPEKAA MACHIN (FR) 3.CASI CRUDO
THE RESULT
William Hill will present a cash prize of £50 to the stablehand responsible for the Best Turned Out Horse in this race. They will also present a memento to the winning owner.
