Timeform US SmartPlays: Thursday 20 April

Cruachan - Hawthorne 22:37

Francois takes a big drop in class and is sure to be popular, but he has questions to answer at a likely short price, and a better option looks to be Cruachan. A fair third last time, Cruachan comes into this in form and ought to go well.

Rip Roarin Ritchie - Hawthorne 22:58

Rip Roarin Ritchie returns from a layoff and should take plenty of catching from the front over this 5f trip on the Hawthorne turf. Georgie My Boy and Pilatus looks next best.

Bootleggin - Hawthorne 00:52

Bootleggin switches to turf in a competitive event, but has a good draw in stall 1, and is worth taking a chance on. Flashdance Road looks the main danger, with Domikate another to consider.
