MISTER SMARTY (9) bids for a hat-trick following a 1.25L success in this handicap hurdle grade over 2m on Boxing Day at Wetherby. Leading contender. FAHA BELLE (5) can take a step forward on hurdle return after a below par sixth tackling a 2m6 1/2f handicap chase at Leicester. Worth a market check. AQUITAINE BOY (2) produced a career best two starts back winning a 2m maiden hurdle at Southwell. Interesting. BALKING (1) could prove next best.
