Timeform UK SmartPlays: Friday November 13

La Vaticane - 13:05 Cheltenham

French-recruit La Vaticane made a promising start for new connections when runner-up in a handicap hurdle at Kempton in March and can make a winning return back over fences. Fellow six-year-olds Lough Kent and Minella Present are others to consider.

Josies Orders - 14:50 Cheltenham

Josies Orders gained ample compensation for a luckless exit in the La Touche Cup when landing a cross-country event at Punchestown in May, and fit from a recent spin over hurdles, seemingly has plenty in his favour. Any Currency and Uncle Junior very much fall into the old-guard category, but can be expected to give their running over these unique obstacles.

Knock House - 16:00 Cheltenham

Knock House boasts a progressive profile over fences, making an encouraging return when running a career best at Fakenham recently, and he looks sure to go well under Nina Carberry. Alternatif shaped well on his sole start in this sphere, and looks a danger making his handicap chase debut for David Pipe, who has a good record in this race, whilst Irish-raider Our Sox is another to consider.
