PLAY SMARTER
I’M A LUMBERJACK confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut in tidy fashion at Warwick and, with the performance supported by the timefigure, he’s taken to defy a penalty at the first time ofasking with the sharp nature ofthis track more likelyto playto his strengths than perhaps Belliano’s, whose long-term future surely lies back over further having taken time to wear down the leader over an extended 21f at Ascot on his most recent outing.

A plausible scenario is that SOCIALISER will leave his hurdles form a long way behind now going handicapping over fences, a theory given weight by his encouraging Rules debut second in a maiden hunter.Admittedlythat was back in 2022 and he’s been seen out justtwice since but it’s surelysignificant that connections are persevering. Emotional Roller and Asa both opened their chase accounts last time and are feared most in that order of preference, while Dark Mix is also of interest.

In light of what he achieved over hurdles, TANGANYIKA is likely to prove a good deal betterthan what he has shown in two starts in this sphere to date and he could be the answer to this competitive contest. Heard That has won two of his four starts since switched to fences and he looks a big threat, along with the consistent Peejaybee. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.TANGANYIKA
