Timeform UK SmartPlays: Tuesday July 24

In the opener at Musselburgh (14:00), Christmas Light stands out to get punters off to a winning start. She won a handicap at Redcar off a BHA mark of 68 last term when trained by David O'Meara and caught the eye last week when returning to that kind of form on only her second start for Brian Ellison, short-headed by Locantanks in a Beverley handicap. The winner that day defied a penalty to score at Ripon on Saturday and Christmas Light will be hard to beat off a 2 lb lower mark here.

Griffin Point (19:35, Ffos Las) had been showing little, and slipping down the weights, before a set of blinkers changed her fortunes last time. She travelled smoothly and showed a much better attitude than she had previously this year when chasing home in-form Festival Dance in a five-furlong handicap at Newbury. A reproduction of that effort will see her go close again here.

Over the sticks, Wait No More's time may have come again in Bangor-on Dee's seventeen-furlong handicap chase (19:45). He was back to his very best when winning at Ffos Las in June and, turned out quickly, he was a creditable second to Benny's Well at Worcester last time. His stamina gave way a little there so he is more than likely to be better off now dropped in trip. His jumping is a real asset and he has to be followed given both his current form and lack of credible opposition.
