16:50 Wincanton

Given he has only had 4 runs over hurdles SMOKING PIGEON (best price 4/1) looks the one to side with at Wincanton on Wednesday. He was only beaten half a length at Huntingdon last time and the winner looked a useful enough type with the front pair comfortably clear. He is up just 4lb and with further improvement a near certainty this looks a good chance to go one better. Liam Harrison is good value for his 3lb claim and gets the ride again. I expect him to try and lead again and he might not come back to these. Barford Diva looks the type to have more to come now handicapping but might need a bit more time and experience. Sabrina could also emerge as a danger handicapping but will need to leave previous efforts behind. The Changing Man will enjoy going up in trip but will need to take a sizeable step forward to land a blow at the business end.
