Timeform UK SmartPlays: Thursday July 5

Kicking things off is Klynch in the 19:45. Ruth Carr's gelding has been in fantastic form in recent weeks, winning over six furlongs at York last month prior to slamming his rivals at Hamilton eight days ago, travelling powerfully before quickening clear to score by four and a half lengths. Clearly underestimated by the handicapper that day, he appeals as still having a bit in hand in this event shouldering just a 6 lb penalty for victory, and with the step up to seven furlongs unlikely to be an issue he looks to have decent claims of completing the hat-trick.

In the next race on the card, John Gosden's Infinitum is strongly fancied to strike in the 20:20. Slowly into stride when second on her debut at Salisbury in May, the daughter of Dalakhani flew home inside the final furlong once the penny had dropped, narrowly failing to reach the winner. With significant improvement anticipated over today's longer trip (hails from good middle-distance family) this 135,000 gns purchase can start to repay connections' faith in her by taking the spoils.

Finally, it can pay to side with the unexposed Modernism in the competitive concluding handicap at 20:50. Mark Johnston's colt was down the field when last seen at Doncaster in April, but landed a fair Wolverhampton maiden on debut prior to that and is bred to be a smart performer. Given a break since, he undoubtedly has more to offer and could be the one to reward backers at decent odds.
