Timeform UK SmartPlays: Friday March 6

Paul Nicholls can train the winner of the feature

"Howlongisafoot has taken well to chasing, jumping fluently when opening his account at the second attempt at Taunton in December, and has the potential to do better still in this sphere."

Timeform's SmartPlays team pick out three bets from Sandown on Grand Military Gold Cup day.

Howlongisafoot - 15:25 Sandown

Howlongisafoot has taken well to chasing, jumping fluently when opening his account at the second attempt at Taunton in December, and has the potential to do better still in this sphere. Loose Chips and Ballyallia Man filled the places in a similar event over this C&D in February and should be in the mix again.

Molly's A Diva - 16:00 Sandown

Molly's A Diva has been rather a slow learner over hurdles, but she put up a useful performance for her latest success at Exeter last month, and a 4 lb rise looks lenient. She is the selection in an open contest, though handicap debutants Ustica and Lessons In Milan will doubtless be popular for powerful stables.

Yabadabadoo - 16:35 Sandown

Yabadabadoo lost no caste in defeat when chasing home a thriving rival on his second chase start at Leicester in February. He reappears off the same mark here and is worth siding with to thwart Greywell Boy's bid to complete a hat-trick of wins in this contest.
