Has been going the right way in handicaps this season, making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts when successful in 4-runner event at Fontwell (19.2f, heavy) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Fared better than previously when third behind a couple of useful prospects in maiden at Lingfield (19.5f, heavy) last month. Enters calculations as he makes his handicap debut.

Much improved when second on his handicap debut at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) in January. However, he wasn't able to build on that when mid-field at the same course (21.7f, soft) next time. Needs to resume his progress with blinkers applied.

Landed a hat-trick in staying handicap hurdles back in 2019 and ran to a similar level when second in handicap chase at Taunton (23f) in December 2022. Has only run twice since, though, sixth of 9 at Hereford almost a year ago. Reverts to hurdling on his return.

Stepped up on return when runner-up at Fontwell in December (shaped best) and ran well when fourth at Uttoxeter 10 days later. Looked sure to be involved when brought down 3 out at this course (15.8f, heavy) in February, so he could be ready to get off the mark.

9/1
Some promise in maiden/novice hurdles but little impact in 2 starts over fences. Returned to hurdling, unable to sustain effort when third of 5 in handicap at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) last time. More needed but she could yet do better at this trip.

Forecasts

Smart Casual (6/4), Mumbles (9/4), Mac's Legacy (5/1), Ballyvaughan Bay (13/2), Wonderweasle (9/1), Layerthorpe (50/1)

Verdict

SMART CASUAL has been shaping up well in handicaps this season, looking sure to play a hand in the finish when departing at this course on his latest outing, and he could still have more to offer upped in trip. He is taken to see off the challenge of Mumbles, who has been progressing well during the current campaign, with Ballyvaughan Bay also considered.
