SMART DECISION (1) returns after a break of two months. Last appeared when he lost the rider on his jumps debut in a hurdle (3140m) at Haydock Park. Will prove tough to beat if he gets things right. EAGLES REPRIEVE (4) returns after two months in the paddock. Closed last prep with a minor placing when facing the starter for just the second time in a hurdle (3140m) at Haydock Park, beaten 13 lengths. Sure to make his presence felt. DEARKEITHANDKATY (3) opened his career three months ago, finding a couple better over 3200m at Hereford on the flat. Has not appeared since. Should feature over the obstacles for the first time. LAUTREC DE COUGNY (5) wasn't popular in betting but returned from a spell on February 12 with a sound third in a hurdle (3200m) at Wetherby, beaten 6 lengths. Will come on from that run and is worth considering.
