'This fella looks special' - Three Joseph O'Brien horses to follow on the Flat in 2024

SMAD PLACE came back to something like his best to land the Old Roan Chase on his first outing of the season. That (like this) was arguably over a trip short of his ideal, but they went a proper end to end gallop there as they will again here. Nicky Henderson has a strong hand with both Top Notch and Josses Hill holding strong each way chances. Flying Tiger was a long way below par on his return to action, but his win at Aintree when beating Top Notch gives him a solid shout.
