Race preview
SMOKEY MALONE occupied the runner-up berth in this class here in February and competes off an unchanged mark. The seven-year-old clearly remains on a workable rating and it would be no surprise to see him go one better. Yakhabar was only beaten a length into second at Southwell at the start of the month and can go well, while Merry Minister is another to consider.
