SMART MONEY is a real mudlark and was a respectable second his chasing bow at Newbury in March. He'll have learned plenty from that and looks the one to beat here. Dan's Wee Man didn't manage a win over hurdles but was third here in May on soft going and may do better over the larger obstacles. Major Milborne found the ground too quick at Wincanton last month and is another with scope but Lydstep Point has struggled between the flags since showing promise over timber in 2012.
