Timeform UK SmartPlays: Wednesday November 12

Wednesday's final bet comes from Ayr

"Mad For Road is taken to make a winning debut for Ben Haslam."

Though Bangor hosts nominally the best racing on Wednesday, Ayr and Exeter provide the best bets.

American Life - 13:40 Exeter

Quite a few of these don't look particularly well handicapped, not so American Life, though, and the runaway Fontwell winner can successfully defy a penalty if in the same form a week on. Jupiter Rex notched up a seven-timer when last seen and can't be overlooked on his return for the in-form Venetia Williams, while the fitting of a tongue tie could help Too Generous making her reappearance.

Harry's Farewell - 14:10 Exeter

All seven are having their first outing over fences under Rules but Ballyculla, Virtuel d'oudon, Desert Joe and Harry's Farewell are all winning pointers. Ballyculla and Harry's Farewell look the best handicapped on their hurdles form, the latter preferred given his unexposed profile.

Mad For Road - 14:20 Ayr

Mad For Road is taken to make a winning debut for Ben Haslam. His Irish hurdles form is only modest, though connections racked up a four-timer earlier this year with a very similar type in Ever So Much. De Chissler is respected despite obvious concerns about his jumping, whilst Tuesday's easy Sedgefield scorer Ellistrin Belle must enter the equation if taking her chance.
