The Beneficial gelding SCHMIDT appears to be improving with every run and can build on his game third of 14 beaten 3½L in a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle to take the honours here in a competitive looking contest. Mr Picotee acts on the ground, is a distance winner and looks a progressive type worthy of consideration along with the battle-hardened Littlestickarubarb who can grab a place here.
