Some well-bred maidens go to post ahead of the 3.10pm this afternoon in a race that I suspect will provide a few future winners, including Approved Star, Modern Times, and Sardinian Warrior, but I still hope Smart Hero has their beating.
One advantage he brings to the table is a recent run when he was slowly away at Kempton and showing all the signs of inexperience before the penny dropped, which saw him running on to be beaten a neck at the line.
He looked a certainty to learn plenty from the race and if that is the case, he may be able to put that to good use here.
