Timeform UK SmartPlays: Saturday March 29

Our first SmartPlay on Saturday runs in the six-furlong Cammidge Trophy (14:40) as we side with Jack Dexter who goes in search of back-to back wins in the listed contest. Jack Dexter will have to defy a penalty if he is to replicate last year's success, but he improved during the course of the season, running creditably in graded contests, while the recent rainfall will play to his strengths, so he makes plenty of appeal. It should be stated that Jack Dexter is not just a mudlark - he ran very well when fourth in the Group 1 King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot - but he evidently handles testing conditions better than most horses and the softening ground has swung things in his favour. Tropics, who also has to shoulder a penalty, was most progressive last season and could well develop into a Group 1 performer, but the fact he was beaten off a mark of 84 on his reappearance last term is a slight concern with tomorrow's return in mind, and he may not be quite fully primed.

There are some attractively-handicapped old stagers in the Spring Mile (15:15) - the consolation race for those who failed to make the cut for the Lincoln - but Gworn, who has relatively few miles on the clock, was gradually progressive last season and can pick up where he left off. Gworn hasn't always looked the most straightforward of types but he impressed with his consistency last term and signed off for the campaign with a career-best effort to win a one-mile handicap at Haydock. That effort came on a soft surface, so the recent change in conditions will be of no concern to Gworn, and a strongly-run race over a mile looks absolutely ideal for Ed Dunlop's charge.

Barry Hills famously landed a monster bet when backing Frankincense to win the Lincoln in 1968 and his son Charlie can saddle this year's winner with One Word More (15:50). One Word More boasts some strong juvenile form courtesy of a couple of runner-up efforts to Toronado and Montiridge and, though his form was rather patchy last season, he showed that he was a useful handicapper with a good second to the progressive Breton Rock at this venue. That effort came over seven furlongs but One Word More has already proven himself to be effective over a mile, as well as capable of winning fresh, as he landed a one-mile minor event on his return last year. One Word More handles soft ground, goes well fresh and has pieces of form that makes him look attractively handicapped. He looks a bet at a double-figure price.
