There were signs that SMART CASUAL was getting the hang of things when last seen in a Wincanton maiden in April and, with improvement anticipated now pitched into a handicap, he gets the nod. King Otis looks a big threat under a penalty following his recent winning debut for this yard at Plumpton, while Samatian, who was a C&D winner on his reappearance last season, is also high on the shortlist. Kenny George and Passing Kate are live each-way candidates.
