Timeform UK SmartPlays: Sunday February 24

Timeform bring you three bets on Sunday

Timeform bring you two bets from Fontwell and one from Towcester on Sunday...

Our first SmartPlay comes in the opening race as we suggest that Seebright is a good bet to register his third win of the year. Victor Dartnall's six-year-old displayed fairly useful form in bumpers, managing to win twice, and he made a highly satisfactory debut over hurdles at Wetherby last time, staying on well to assert in the closing stages. Considering that many of Dartnall's horses were running poorly at the turn of the year, Seebright's performances can perhaps be marked up slightly and he ought to be difficult to beat.

Our second SmartPlay runs at Towcester as we take a chance that Tarabela can supplement her recent win and land the 16:00. Fitted with a tongue tie on her first start for Kevin Bishop, Tarabela was the subject of market support and she did not let her backers down as she kept on well to score by seven lengths. Tarabela has a rise in the weights to defy, but she did score rather cosily last time and it is not impossible that her trainer will be able to conjure a bit more improvement out of her.

Priest Island, who finished fourth in a strong two-mile novice hurdle at Chepstow in April 2011, shaped with promise on his belated return at Ludlow last month, again finishing fourth, and he can claim the 16:50 at Fontwell. Having travelled well for much of the way at Ludlow, Priest Island was not unduly punished as he faded out of contention, and he seems to be fairly treated on his handicap debut, allotted a BHA mark of 107. Thundering Home, a winner at Sandown on Friday, is of course a major rival, particularly as he is unpenalised for that win, but the handicapper may have let Tom George's Priest Island in lightly and he is the selection.

Back Seebright @ 1.855/6 in the 14:10 at Fontwell
