Verdict

An open-looking finale in which preference is for SMART CASUAL, who was collared near the line having gone like the best horse at the weights at Fontwell 10 days ago and Anthony Honeyball's 5-y-o can go a place better from an unchanged mark. Damarta has shaped better than the bare result in 3 novice hurdles this season so he rates as a significant threat on handicap debut, with Time To Dazzle and Sailed Away also capable of having a say in proceedings.
