7/1
Pair of wins in cheekpieces last summer. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (5/2) at Redcar on final start in September. Headgear left off on return so perhaps best watched.

Comfortably her best effort in 6 outings on the Flat when runner-up in 1¾m Redcar handicap last May (final start for David Barron). Last seen finishing well held in Catterick juvenile hurdle in December. Others much more obvious.

Winner over 2m at Kempton in February and good second on his next 2 Flat starts. Well held over hurdles since but needs considering back on the level.

Hurdle winner last autumn and finally came good on the Flat Newcastle (1¼m) in January. 12/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap there (1¼m again) 38 days ago. Stamina not assured over this trip.

Placed on the Flat early last summer but largely struggled since, including over hurdles (last ran in January). Others arrive with more pressing claims.

4/1
Visored first time, not disgraced when fifth of 14 in handicap at Catterick (1½m, soft, 15/2) 19 days ago, ridden too aggressively. His mark is workable on his best form.

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Tenth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Catterick (1½m, soft) 19 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal.

Forecasts

Amourie (11/4), Will He Dance (4/1), Bouncing Bobby (9/2), Smart Boyo (9/2), Desert Quest (7/1), Scots Sonnet (9/1), Inside Intel (10/1), Rita R (66/1)

Verdict

SMART BOYO was well held over hurdles recently but had done well on AW Flat prior to that and gets a narrow vote ahead of last-time-out Wolverhampton scorer Amourie. Will He Dance was better than the result last time (went off too hard) and could also play a part.
