SMART BOYO arrives having produced his best effort to date over hurdles when runner-up at Musselburgh 19 days ago, worn down late on by re-opposing Euchan Falls having made his effort sooner than ideal. He could be worth chancing to reverse those placings on these revised terms. The selection's stablemate, Zwicky, who tasted success at Sedgefield in January, is another expected to be in the mix.
