SMITH took advantage of his much-reduced mark when scoring at Lingfield on his latest outing, having to overcome trouble in running, so a 3 lb rise back up in the weights might not be enough to prevent him from following up. Heading the list of dangers is Smokey Malone, who has returned to form on his last 2 starts, with Zooks also considered.
