Timeform UK SmartPlays: Tuesday March 26

Hughie Morrison saddles our final SmartPlay

Timeform head to Lingfield and Southwell, bringing you three all-weather selections on Tuesday...

Our first bet comes in the opening race at Lingfield as we take a chance on Ralph Beckett's Day In Day Out getting the better of likely favourite Gabrial The Duke. The selection would have a bit to find with the market leader on the bare form, but he looks capable of better, especially when you consider that he is lightly raced and unexposed. Day In Day Out has had just the two starts in handicap company so far, the first attempt easily forgivable as he was hampered, while his second effort, when finishing second at Kempton in December, indicates that he is on a fair mark. He offers a bit of value and could be capable of overturning Gabrial The Duke.

We have a bit of a wait until our next SmartPlay as we select Wordiness to complete the four-timer in the 16:50 at Lingfield. Brendan Powell's much-improved five-year-old has really hit a good patch of form, winning on his last three outings, including over C&D last time, and he looks capable of notching up another win today. That cosy win 10 days ago means that he has an 8 lb rise in the weights to contend with, but, such was the authority of the success, that should not be enough to prevent him going in again under man-of-the-moment Robert Tart.

We head to Southwell for our last selection as we turn to a trusted fibresand ally in the shape of Hughie Morrison, selecting his contender in the 17:00, Cecily Parsley. Morrison has a fantastic record at Southwell and it is always worth noting when he opts to send a horse to tackle the unique fibresand surface. Cecily Parsley looks likely to benefit from the increased emphasis on stamina, having improved when faced with two miles on the polytrack at Lingfield on his most recent Flat outing, and, with the blinkers applied for the first time, he should be able to produce an improved performance.

Timeform SmartPlays:

Back Day In Day Out @ 4.84/1 in the 14:20 at Lingfield
Back Wordiness @ 1.9420/21 in the 16:50 at Lingfield
Back Cecily Parsley @ 4.77/2 in the 17:00 at Southwell
