Timeform UK SmartPlays: Sunday December 7

It's Kelso's Champion Chase on Sunday
It's Kelso's Champion Chase on Sunday

"...Glenquest has positively thrived since joining Stuart Crawford and can follow up his victory in a big-field Navan handicap hurdle back chasing now."

Huntingdon and Kelso both have one of their biggest cards of the year on Sunday. Timeform split stakes between the two.

Union Jack d'Ycy - 13:50 Kelso

Union Jack d'Ycy looks a likely type for these sort of races and could be the way to go after impressing at Towcester. It's interesting that David Pipe pitches Virtuel d'Oudon straight into one of these marathon handicaps on just his second go over fences and he needs monitoring in first-time blinkers, while Sun Cloud, Isla Pearl Fisher, and last year's second Scotswell are all respected also.

Eduard - 14:05 Huntingdon

Rajdhani Express finished a fine third in the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival and can build on last month's fourth in the Amlin at Ascot, but Eduard gets the vote after his encouraging reappearance effort when chasing home subsequent Hennessy winner Many Clouds at Carlisle.

Glenquest - 14:20 Kelso

The 2011 winner Always Right seems sure to go well seeking a fifth course success, while Shotavodka could prove a class apart despite giving his rivals a stone and more, but Glenquest has positively thrived since joining Stuart Crawford and can follow up his victory in a big-field Navan handicap hurdle back chasing now.
