Timeform UK SmartPlays: Friday April 17

Friday's SmartPlays include two bets from Newbury

"Mujuassam came clear with a useful sort when winning his maiden here in October and appeals as the best handicapped."

On a day that simmers ahead of the Greenham and Scottish National on Saturday, Timeform pick out bets from Newbury and Ayr.

Special Agent - 14:30 Ayr

Competitive stuff. Special Agent did the job well at Ascot last time and appeals as the type who'll go on improving now tackling handicaps. Capard King looks a big threat with McCoy back in the plate, with Racing Europe and Chosen Well completing the shortlist.

Mujassam - 15:25 Newbury

Mujuassam came clear with a useful sort when winning his maiden here in October and appeals as the best handicapped. John Gosden has won three of the last five renewals so the promising Sugar Boy is a must for the shortlist, with fellow Godolphin-runner Strong Chemistry another to consider.

Lucky Beggar - 15:55 Newbury

Lucky Beggar won this race 12 months ago from a 1 lb lower mark and, having caught the eye on recent reappearance, could be the way to go back at five furlongs. Green Door is feared most from his reduced mark, while Normal Equilibrium and Boom The Groom arrive here fit and well from the all-weather.
