Timeform US SmartPlays: Thursday 24 October

#1 Plains Warrior - Penn National R2 (23:27 BST)

Plains Warrior returned from a 90-day layoff to finish a fair third in a better race than this last time. That run should have put him spot-on for this contest, and he can come out on top ahead of Aimed and Tisdale.

#7 Aspen Xtreme - Penn National R6 (01:23 BST)

Aspen Xtreme hasn't yet added to the maiden win he achieved in January but has run some solid races in defeat and may finally be ready to supplement that sole success. M G Broker looks the biggest threat, with Arrecife another to consider.

#8 Battle Midway - Penn National R8 (02:20 BST)

Second on his last four outings, Battle Midway can go one better in this low-level claimer. Stone Crazy is the most pragmatic second option, while Cattle Drive commands a second look as well. Shipthegrip makes up the shortlist.
