Timeform US SmartPlays: Thursday 14 April

Dilly Dilly Philly (Laurel Park R1, 17:40 BST) has a decent chance on these terms and looks sure to be thereabouts. A winner in a similar event on her sole start at this track back in January, her trainer is also in very good form at present. Blue Sky Venezuela arrives chasing a hat-trick and can come out best of the remainder. First Forever is another who requires consideration.

Merzaz (Gulfstream Park R4, 19:43 BST) is difficult to overlook in view of the drop in grade. A two-time winner at this track from just the six starts, he should take some stopping back in claiming company. Neverstopdreaming should give a good account too, while Triple Jeopardy should also be considered.

Hachure (Laurel Park R5, 19:50 BST) has gradually progressed and holds better claims than most. The four-year-old son of Tapit ran a close third on his return and is taken to build on that reappearance. General's Duty is taking a drop in class and can emerge best of the rest. Espresso Lungo also makes the short-list.
