"Melodious is given a chance off bottom weight in a hot handicap that it may pay to follow. Given the daughter of Cape Cross has been staying on well she should appreciate this longer trip and likely remains on a fair mark."

Timeform's SmartPlays team picks out the best bets on Thursday.

Fireglow - 15:30 Sandown

Fireglow looks the way to go in this ultra-competitive listed event. She built on her successful debut when a very good fourth in the Albany, shaping as though ready for another step up in trip, and can progress again over this extra furlong. Aneesah, who could be a lot better than she has shown so far, is feared most, just ahead of her promising debut conquerer Raaqy.

The Tin Man - 19:20 Doncaster

The Tin Man looked a different proposition on his second start, landing a C&D maiden with something in hand, and with potential for better to come, he is taken to make a successful transition to handicap company. Recent Newcastle winner Off The Scale is feared most, with Mighty Zip next-best.

Melodious - 20:45 Newbury

Melodious is given a chance off bottom weight in a hot handicap that it may pay to follow. Given the daughter of Cape Cross has been staying on well she should appreciate this longer trip and likely remains on a fair mark. Moonrise Landing was a good second at Newmarket and should make the frame again with Serene Beauty, who steps up in trip but needs to settle.
