Timeform UK SmartPlays: Friday October 16

Modest - 13:30 Haydock

Modest could be a filly to follow in the closing stages of the season and can make it back-to-back victories after impressing at Catterick last week. Harmonic Wave was also successful in ready fashion last time and is feared, while Addicted To Luck ran a blinder from the front off her mark at Windsor on Monday.

Mitchum Swagger - 15:45 Haydock

Hard to get away from Mitchum Swagger despite the field size as the evidence of his unbeaten career so far suggests he could be better than a handicapper. Bertiewhittle is unpenalised for last week's York win and the return to a mile won't inconvenience him, while Ansaab will be winning races for Mick Appleby sooner rather than later.

Knock House - 16:00 Fakenham

Knock House landed a novice chase at this meeting on his reappearance last season, and with improvement anticipated after only five career starts over fences, is fancied to make a successful return to action again. Wiesentraum is looking for a hat-trick in this particular race and may be the biggest danger.
