Timeform UK SmartPlays: Thursday August 7

Course form is indispensable at Brighton and Fairy Mist therefore makes good appeal in the 14:50 there today. His jockey William Carson also does well at the South coast track and the pair recorded two consecutive course victories earlier this season. Though coming unstuck last time at Lingfield after taking a rise in the weights, the return to Brighton should help him show his best and he is taken to beat the Richard Hughes-ridden Mill I Am.

Dutch Rifle will be making just her third start in the 19:00 at Southwell and looks likely to prove better than her current mark. Having made a winning debut at Wolverhampton last season, she returned in May to run disappointingly on the turf at Haydock. With this outing under her belt and a return to a synthetic surface likely to suit, she should start making some belated progress by winning here. Pearl Nation rates a danger, but preference is for the unexposed Dutch Rifle.

At Sandown, the improving Tides Reach has every chance of following up her recent Windsor victory in the 20:25. Her Windsor win came in what was a fairly weak three-runner affair, but she did it well and has the potential to see off some today's rivals.
