Timeform UK SmartPlays: Saturday February 7

Milan Bound - 13:50 Newbury

Milan Bound built on his encouraging reappearance when finding only Closing Ceremony too good at Haydock in November and he's weighted to reverse the form with that rival now, so looks the call for his rejuvenated yard. Provo is potentially very well handicapped and demands a second look if the vibes are positive on his belated return (swerved an engagement last month).

Taquin de Seuil - 14:25 Newbury

Taquin de Seuil proved his stamina for this test when runner-up in the Charlie Hall at Wetherby and, given plenty of time to recover from his flop in the Betfair Chase, is taken to bounce back with his yard back amongst the winners in recent days. Houblon des Obeaux will be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to meet expectations.

Sign of A Victory - 15:35 Newbury

Sign of A Victory created a striking impression when sauntering to success at Ascot in November, and with a defeat in the Christmas Hurdle easy enough to ignore, he's well worth supporting back in handicap company. Unexposed five-year-olds Activial and Calipto are hard to knock, but at likely bigger odds On Tour, Fascino Rustico and Chieftain's Choice may prove better each-way options. NON RUNNER
