Timeform UK SmartPlays: Monday November 24

Kempton 13:05 - Fayette County

We start things off with what should prove to be a very informative beginners' chase over the minimum trip at Kempton, and at current prices Fayette County looks the far better bet. River Maigue has the best form of these over hurdles and has always been held in high regard by connections, but the selection progressed well in novice hurdles last term and has always appealed as the type to progress further as a chaser. He looks overpriced to realise his potential in this sphere and although Nicky Henderson's charge is respected, it's hoped the selection can keep him in check. 

Kempton 13:35 - Mister Snowball

We remain at Kempton for the next contest under consideration, a staying handicap hurdle over an extended three miles in which Mister Snowball gets the nod. Although his only wins have come on foreign shores there is no doubting he is on a good mark currently given his ability, and he shaped with real promise at Exeter. He will appreciate the step back up in trip that today represents and although he shoulders a 4 lb rise for his last run, he remains capable of improvement off his current mark and the booking of Barry Geraghty is another significant positive. 

Wolverhampton 16:35 - Rich Again

Our final bet of the day comes on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton, which comes in a seven furlong handicap and Rich Again looks primed to strike. He is a C&D winner who put in a very encouraging effort when a decent third at Kempton a few weeks ago, faring by far the best of those to come from off the pace. He remains well-treated on the pick of his form and although the likes of Don't Be merit respect, it is hoped the selection as enough in his favour this afternoon to give us a profitable start to the week.
