PLAY SMARTER
ONEUPMANSHIP’s chase debut was full of promise until getting the second-last fence wrong at Ffos Las a month ago and he will hopefully confirm himself to be well treated from the same mark this time. Native Robin won a C&D handicap last time and is a threat, along with Iron Mike.

WHYDAH GALLY signalled he’s ready to open his account when runner-up at Lingfield and looks the way to go with that form proving strong for the grade.

DESTINEE ROYALE was progressive over fences last season and was still full of running and going better than the eventual winner when falling at Cheltenham on her return on New Year’s Day. She’s almost certainly still on a good mark so remains of interest. Favori de Sivola is also progressive so is feared most as he bids for the hat-trick, with Legends Gold best of the others.
