Timeform UK SmartPlays: Monday January 26

Artifice Sivola - 14:30 Plumpton

Artifice Sivola could be worth chancing to leave his hurdles form behind now chasing for an in-form stable, as he hails from a fine family and should have come on for his Fakenham return after 8 months off. Bobbits Way ran a blinder behind a thriving one here a fortnight ago and has a big shout if in the same form, while Graphical could be interesting judged on his pointing efforts.

Whisky Yankee - 14:50 Ludlow

Whisky Yankee is a winning hurdler at this trip and wasn't given a hard time once his chance had gone over an inadequate two miles on his first start for Evan Williams here earlier this month. He gets the nod ahead of Moorlands Mist, who like the selection should step up on his chasing debut effort now fitted with a tongue tie, and Call Me Vic. Hard To Swallow is another to consider.

Boss des Mottes - 15:20 Ludlow

Boss des Mottes didn't disgrace himself when fourth behind the potentially smart Nicky Henderson-trained juvenile hurdler, Hargam, at Cheltenham last month, and he makes plenty of appeal on his handicap bow. Indeed, the unexposed four-year-old possesses plenty of scope for improvement and faces nothing of Hargam's calibre here. Devil´s Dyke, Grimley Girl and Northern Bay rate the main dangers.
