    Race Analysis

    SMOKEY MALONE (4) bids for a hat-trick after a 1L victory in a 1m6f Southwell AW handicap before coming out on top by a neck attempting a 1m4f handicap at the same venue. Leading contender. THE CRAFTYMASTER (2) secured an impressive 3L victory over course and distance before finishing last of five at Newcastle AW. Warrants thought as may bounce back. BLOODHOUND (8) makes some attraction towards bottom of the weights. Missed out on the placings when fourth at Wolverhampton nine days ago. Will be thereabouts. DAMZON (5) cannot be discounted after placing third on latest outing at Southwell AW.
