Timeform UK SmartPlays: Sunday October 4

Kelso 15:50 - Hello George

Hello George contested some hot handicaps last season following his impressive novice win at Exeter, signing off for the campaign with a good second at Haydock, and he sets the clear standard on his return. It's possible that we didn't see everything that Hello George had to offer last year, and he can make the most of this good opportunity.

Kelso 16:20 - Simply Ned

Simply Ned struggled in Grade 1s when last seen, but he's a three-time handicap chase winner and won this race last year from the same mark, so he looks to hold obvious claims on his return. Robin's Command is in the form of his life and is feared, while Fair Dilemma is one at a bigger price to note, but Simply Ned can make his class tell and successfully concede the weight.

Uttoxeter 17:40 - Ullswater

Ullswater went the wrong way for Emma Lavelle, but there were definite signs of encouragement on his second outing for Gordon Elliott at Downpatrick recently, briefly looking the winner before being outstayed by the leading pair close home. This drop back in trip will help, and he is likely to be a big player if building on that effort
