Timeform UK SmartPlays: Wednesday August 15

Attempting a four-timer, Fear Nothing (15:50) will have to overcome his new BHA mark of 73 after his latest win over C&D two weeks ago. On the evidence of his last run, when one and a quarter lengths in front of Indian Trail, that shouldn't be a problem, again under David Bergin and against a similar standard of opposition. Fear Nothing is thriving on his racing, and in a race that may not take all that much winning, should come out on top.

Emirates Queen (16:05) looks set to rule over her listed-class opposition in the best race of the day at Salisbury. Luca Cumani's filly is the least exposed of the group, but has already proved herself in this company when second by a neck to Barefoot Lady at York last time out. Being off the bridle early on in rear highlighted Emirates Queen's inexperience on that occasion but she stayed on well to lead in the final furlong before being headed close home and perhaps worried out of it. She will only have learnt from that performance though and this half-sister to Dubawi should improve again to land her first listed race at only the second time of asking.

Back at Beverley, Aliante (17:25) is given another chance to break her maiden after posting her best ever performance in a first-time visor at Yarmouth last time out. Not a staightforward filly, she wandered when put under pressure at first but kept on to finish two lengths second behind Authora. Off the same, tempting mark today, this filly needs everything to fall right for her and there couldn't be a better opportunity for that than today, with the yard still flying and at a track where the combination of Mark Johnston and Silvestre de Sousa do particularly well.
