STAY SMART arrives in good form having won over today’s trip at Newcastle in December and finishing runner-up over the minimum distance in both subsequent starts.

Dashing Dick has failed to build on earlier placed efforts at Chelmsford but Dacesa may improve on only her second start for new connections while Donny Marlow can do better dropping back down in trip for this.
