Timeform UK SmartPlays: Friday February 20

Exeter 14:50 - Back Molo

The lightly-raced Molo probably isn't completely straightforward, but she looks to be fairly treated on her handicap debut and is worth siding with. Molo has shown clear signs of ability from the outset, winning a Uttoxeter bumper and mares' maiden hurdle at Newcastle, and she bounced back from a tame effort at Fontwell when finishing third at Warwick last time. She's in the right hands to progress and should be capable of making an impact from this kind of mark.

Exeter 16:50 - Back Top Wood

There was plenty to like about Top Wood's return to action over hurdles last month, and he makes a great deal of appeal back over fences, having created such a good impression when winning on his debut in this sphere back in May. True, he disappointed on his only subsequent start over the larger obstacles, but the potential is still there, and he is worth persevering with. 

Wolverhampton 20:15 -  Back Sbraase

Sbraase was only narrowly denied here last week and should prove capable of making amends, sure to go close from the same mark. Sbraase knuckled down to his task well over C&D, showing these conditions are just about his optimum, and there was no shame in going down by a short-head to an in-form rival. A big run is on the cards from James Tate's likeable four-year-old.
