PLAY SMARTER
LARGY POET appeals as a useful prospect and sets a clear standard in this 3-runner event Kingoftheswingerz will be of more interest when qualified for handicaps after this outing, whilst it’s hard to know what to expect from Irish point winner Simple Getaway, who has switched yards since his underwhelming Rules debut.

PLAY SMARTER
A late mishap prevented WINDANCE making a successful return at Plumpton last month but he is able to race off the same mark and can get back on the scoreboard in the race he won last year Gingerbred and No Hubs No Hoobs are feared most in what looks a competitive affair

ROBBER’S BRIDGE found some improvement when runner-up at Leicester on his latest outing, form which has worked out well, and he can build on that effort to go one better Orange Diamond was in the process of running well over fences when departing last time, so he could be the main danger reverted to hurdling, ahead of C&D winner Daany.

CAMULUS made a positive start for this yard after a year off when runner-up at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark. William Ewart justified support at Southwell last time and is the obvious threat.
