Timeform UK SmartPlays: Monday July 6

Ayr 15:35 - Harwoods Volante

A 3 lb rise for Harwoods Volante's latest Wetherby success looks more than fair and he's expected to be tough to beat in his hat-trick bid. Like so many before him, Harwoods Volante has been rejuvenated by the switch to the David O'Meara yard and may yet have even more to offer, mindful that he's won off higher in the past.

Windsor 19:55 - Highland Duke

Highland Duke has generally been operating below his best since winning a nine-furlong Goodwood handicap almost two years ago, but he got back on the right track when just edged out by Lady Marl over C&D last time, and he merits serious consideration now back in some form.

Ripon 20:05 - Spirit of Zeb

Spirit of Zeb picked up where he left off in 2014 by winning a six-furlong Hamilton handicap on return a fortnight ago, and he looks the type who may yet be capable of better. Spirit of Zeb is an unexposed, progressive sprinter and should give a good account.
