A winner at Newcastle in December, STAY SMART again ran well when runner-up at Wolverhampton 10 days ago, finding only a fast-improving sort too strong. He looks sure to go well again under Adam Kirby and earns the vote. Black Sparrow shaped better than the bare result at Kempton last time, and along with Onaledge, heads up the dangers.
