Timeform UK SmartPlays: Friday January 11

Despite the presence of several in-form sorts, Monumental Man (13:00 Lingfield) can complete a hat-trick of successes since returning to racing over the minimum trip last month. The inside stall should be perfect for this front runner to dictate matters in the same manner he did over course-and-distance and at Wolverhampton last month and he is taken set to overcome a further 6 lb rise in the weights to land this prize.

My Tent Or Yours (13:20 Huntingdon) is on a retrieval mission after failing to land the odds on bottomless ground at Newbury a couple of weeks ago, left with to much to do when beaten by stablemate Chatterbox on that occasion, but he's well worth another chance such was the impression he made when slamming Taquin Du Seuil at Ascot in November. The latter has been successful at graded level on two occasions since, taking the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle on his most recent appearance, and it'll be a surprise if the highly-regarded JP McManus owned-gelding doesn't return to winning ways here on the road to better things, possibly next month's Betfair Hurdle.

Refusal (13:50 Huntingdon) is still a maiden, showing only modest form in juvenile hurdles last season, but the five-year-old has offered encouragement when finding the frame on both starts in maiden chases this term, his sound jumping for one so young a notable feature, and a combination of the fitting of a tongue tie for the first time and the step up to 2½ miles on his debut in handicap company over fences suggest he can break his duck here.
