PLAY SMARTER

DR YOUMZAIN took a step forward when third on the all-weather at Lingﬁeld and, if able to build on that now returned to turf, he could be the answer. Mark Johnston’s charge is selected on the assumption that Skittlebombz, who is due to run at Nottingham on Tuesday, won’t go to post. Hamaki is surely capable of better than he’s shown thus far and is next best ahead of newcomer Rambuso Creek.

TASHKHAN continued his theme of race-by-race progress when adding to his tally at Haydock 32 days ago, looking well served by the step up to 1 3/4m. This even longer trip promises to hold no fears and he gets the nod with the prospect of even better to come. Prince Imperial arrives in form and is feared most, ahead of Let Me Be.

VAN GERWEN has an all-or-nothing proﬁle, but his demolition job here10 days ago was his best eﬀort since 2018 so Paul Midgley’s charge gets the vote to notch a fourth C&D success.

PLAY SMARTER

HIGHLY SPRUNG produced his best eﬀort of the season when runner-up in a Class 3 over C&D oﬀ this mark 10 days ago and is taken to record his seventh C&D success. Zumurud wasn’t far behind the selection that day and should be in the mix again, while Dream Together and Obee Jo both arrive in decent form.
