Timeform UK SmartPlays: Thursday April 30

Two of Thursday's bets come from Sedgefield

"W Six Times pushed a well-handicapped rival hard for a long way over three miles at Chepstow last time and might be worth siding with to resume winning ways back over this shorter trip."

Jumps action from Sedgefield in the afternoon and Newton Abbot in the evening provide Timeform's best bets on Thursday.

Abricot de L'Oasis - 14:45 Sedgefield

Recent winners Abricot de L'Oasis and Classinaglass may be the pair to concentrate on. Donald McCain's gelding created a good impression when opening his account on British soil at Carlisle and is narrowly preferred in his follow-up bid.

W Six Times - 15:45 Sedgefield

W Six Times pushed a well-handicapped rival hard for a long way over three miles at Chepstow last time and might be worth siding with to resume winning ways back over this shorter trip. Market Rasen runner-up Danceintothelight is an obvious threat, while Whatsupjack performed with credit himself at Market Rasen last time.

Dubh Eile - 19:00 Newton Abbot

Dubh Eile has some fair form to her name in bumpers in Ireland and can build on last month's handicap debut fifth, with the step up in trip expected to be in her favour. Moncarno and Showboater both showed ability in bumpers and could easily leave previous hurdles efforts behind now switching their attentions to handicaps.
