Smoothie came back to form with a vengeance when scoring at Windsor last time and can overcome a subsequent 6lb rise in the handicap. Paul Cole's charge is still well treated on the pick of his form and has ground conditions in his favour. Luxor had been in the doldrums until bouncing back at Chester last month and this bold front runner should give another good account while Kylkenny disappointed last time but has claims on earlier form.
