Timeform UK SmartPlays: Monday April 1

Richard Fahey trains two of today's selections.

Timeform's SmartPlays team suggest bets at both Warwick and Yarmouth on Easter Monday...

The Richard Fahey yard has been in  excellent form of late and the appear to have a good chance of hitting the mark once more with Aquarian Spirit, in the 14:40 at Yarmouth. The six-year-old has won on his seasonal debut for each of the last two years and, after a fairly uninspiring end to 2012, begins this term on a career-low mark of 66, which vastly underplays his ability if he is anywhere near his best. The Alan McCabe-trained Azrael has been holding his form well recently, and the booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye, whilst Tweedle Dee is interesting now tackling a longer trip but Aquarian Spirit ran well on his only previous start at this fairly distinctive track and he is taken to cash in on what strikes as being a lenient mark. 

Warwick's conditions event at 15:20 is a decent race and it is easy to see why Justineo, trained by Roger Varian, currently heads the market on his return from Dubai. The four-year-old posted a brace of respectable efforts on his most recent starts at Meydan, finishing fifth on each occasion, and he should go well if over those exertions but it is worth taking him on with Prodigality, who begins 2013 with an air of unfinished business surrounding him. The five-year-old held his form well last year in a series of competitive races, winning twice, but the overriding impression is that he should have done even better and it could well pay to overlook a below-par effort when last seen at Doncaster in October. 

With any luck Richard Fahey can provide us with a second winner at Yarmouth, with Time And Place fancied to go close in the 16:10. The three-year-old learnt a lot from his encouraging Thirsk debut when landing a five furlong maiden at Pontefract in August, beating Polish Crown by a short-head. He was unable to show what he could do on his nursery bow at Chester the following month, being denied a clear run and not being unduly punished subsequently, and the impression is that he kicks off his 2013 campaign on a lenient mark.
