PLAY SMARTER
An interesting opener There were excuses for MISTER MEGITTwhen a warm favourite for a Grade 2 bumper at the Grand National meeting and he can get his hurdle career off to a winning start for the in-form O’Neill yard Malicash, Glynn Brae and Ben Solo can give him most to do in that order

Probable S.P’s: 6-4 Haiti Couleurs (FR), 2-1 Uncle Bert (GB), 7-2 Ike Sport (FR), 12-1 Equinus (IRE)
A dual winner over hurdles as a novice, HAITI COULEURS took a marked step forward on those efforts when a most encouraging second on return/chase debut at Chepstow 4 weeks ago, some inexperienced jumping arguably costing him. Open to improvement, he’s fancied to confirm the promise ofthat effort and go one place better Ike Sport mayemerge next best, ahead ofUncle Bert, who comes here on something of a recovery mission having been pulled up at Carlisle 6 days ago

PLAY SMARTER
GUARD THE MOON is taken to defy the handicapper and complete a hat-trick, with the step back up in trip promising to see him in an even better light. Harbour Lake ran well in a couple of warm handicaps in the spring and might provide the main threat if resuming in similar form. Willaston and Magical King are others likely to have a say.
