Horses racing at all three of Tuesday's UK meetings feature in today's SmartPlays...
Few horses will have suffered more than Punching (15:30) when Southwell racecourse was temporarily closed over the winter as a result of flood damage and the nine-year-old is fancied to make up for lost time returning to the venue this afternoon. A ten-time winner at the track (all but one over today's course-and-distance), his handicap mark has dropped to a career-low one as a result of four below-par efforts on polytrack since his last race here and all looks set fair for him to add to his tally back racing on his favourite surface.
Ten minutes later, further up the M1, the race named in honour of Pontefract course regular and four-time winner at the track Jamaican Flight can go the way of John Quinn's Hidden Justice (15:40), who returns to the level having won a couple of strong juvenile hurdles over the winter. Although subsequently well beaten in the Triumph at Cheltenham, he's unexposed at this sort of trip on the Flat and can take advantage of a lenient-looking mark on his way to better things.
AP McCoy heads up to for an attractive set of rides and can bring proceedings to a successful end thanks to Master Rajeem (17:25). Having made a winning start to his career in bumpers at Sedgefield in February, the gelded son of Street Cry just failed to follow up at that venue the following month and with the Alan Swinbank yard currently in fine fettle, he can return to winning ways.
