Timeform UK SmartPlays: Friday March 20

Bob Tucker - 14:40 Newbury

Bob Tucker disappointed last time but he's given another chance bearing in mind his previous promise. Shuil Royale made a winning start for Harry Fry after a year off and remains of interest, while Noble Legend can't be ruled out off his current mark.

Horatio Hornblower - 15:45 Newbury

Horatio Hornblower was well held in the Timeform Novices' Handicap at Cheltenham in January, though that race is working out very well and he's given another chance to build on Boxing Day's Towcester success. Desert Joe still has room for improvement in his jumping, but he makes the shortlist, as does Wuff, who made a promising start over fences when third at Haydock last month.

Baby King - 16:20 Newbury

Baby King caught the eye when third to Royal Guardsman in a C&D handicap last month and can reverse the form on revised terms to gain a first success for connections. Gassin Golf is very likely to give his running, while Lough Kent remains on a good mark if bouncing back to form.
