Timeform UK SmartPlays: Wednesday February 25

Wincanton 15:10 - Atlantic Roller

The Paul Nicholls-trained Atlantic Roller bettered his hurdling exploits when finishing third over C&D on his return from a break (had a breathing operation in the interim), and he was in the process of showing improved form when departing at the final fence here last month. Atlantic Roller's only 3 lb higher here, which is more than fair, and he looks to have been found a good opportunity to make amends. 

Bangor 15:25 - Mackerye End

Mackerye End has made a pleasing start to his career and he looks to have been let in lightly on his handicap bow. Having offered encouragement amidst obvious signs of inexperience on his debut, Mackerye End confirmed initial promise when getting the better of the strong-staying Wyck Hill at Chepstow, impressing with how well he knuckled down and kept to his task. He's still open to plenty of improvement and can take advantage of a lenient opening mark. 

Kempton 19:15 - Aldeburgh

Aldeburgh's form has taken off since switching to the Nigel Twiston-Davies stable, and he looks to have a good chance of notching the hat-trick, arriving on the back of two wins at Wolverhampton. Aldeburgh arguably did well to win last time, making his challenge from the rear in a steadily-run race as well as being briefly short of room, and he could yet be capable of better.
