Smuggler's Blues ran his best race for a while when third at Perth in April but Judge Earle was beaten a distance in a match on his reappearance, though will strip fitter today and likes it here. Ahead Of The Field is interesting back over fences after a spell hurdling and finished ahead of The Boola Boss over the smaller obstacles at Ffos Las last month. LAST QUARTER is a bit of an enigma but won over hurdles off a higher mark last year and it’s about time he was breaking his duck in chases.
