Timeform UK SmartPlays: Sunday February 8

Southwell 14:05 - Pancake Day

Pancake Day is starting to compile a good record on this fibresand surface, winning twice in recent months, and he looks sure to be in the mix again. Pancake Day showed a good attitude to prevail here last month, staying on strongly to get up close home, and a 5 lb rise in the weights leaves him on a fair-looking mark.

Exeter 14:25 - Morito du Berlais

Morito du Berlais possesses a lightly-raced, progressive profile and he can bounce back to winning ways following a couple of creditable efforts in defeat of late. Morito du Berlais looked a good prospect when winning at the Cheltenham Open meeting, and his two performances since have done little to alter that view. He arrives here in good form, still fairly treated and likely to give a good account.  

Exeter 14:55 - Chance du Roy

Chance du Roy may be an 11-year-old, but he still retains plenty of ability based on his creditable fifth in the Becher Chase in December, and Philip Hobbs' likeable veteran can be relied upon to launch a bold bid. Chance du Roy stays strongly, which might be important in this competitive contest, and he has a more consistent profile than many of these, so he makes plenty of appeal.
