Kempton is the venue for all three of Wednesday's SmartPlays.

"Yankee Storm may have yet more to offer and can get off the mark for his new trainer at the third time of asking..."

Timeform highlight a trio of SmartPlays on this evening's Kempton card...

Our first selection comes in the 18:05, where the improving My Name Is Sam is taken to open his account at the fifth time of asking. The three-year-old, trained by Ron Harris, took a big step forward when finishing third at Wolverhampton just under a fortnight ago, finishing best of all having been held up in a slowly-run race. Clearly things did not pan out in his favour that day but a return to six furlongs is likely to be in his favour, as is the stronger pace that a 12-runner field will hopefully ensure, and he has solid claims of boosting his trainers' excellent level-stakes profit at the track (+44.71 to a £1 level-stake in the last five years).

Yankee Storm (18:35) has gained all six of his wins on the all-weather, with his latest win in March last year coming over course and distance. His debut effort for the Michael Wigham yard at Lingfield late last month, after a nine-month absence, was not all that inspiring but there were much brighter signs on his latest start, also at Lingfield, where he travelled strongly before being badly hampered and finishing with running left. He may have yet more to offer and can get off the mark for his new trainer at the third time of asking.

The 20:05 looks a fairly open contest, but a chance can be taken on the Jeremy Gask-trained Laser Blazer. The four-year-old has shaped better than the result on a number of occasions, including on his last two starts when fifth and third at the course. In both cases he has been ridden somewhat aggressively, doing too much too soon and pressing on earlier than was ideal, catching the eye all the same. The cheekpieces worn on his most recent outing are in evidence once again, he should stay today's mile and a half trip and he remains on an appealing handicap mark, having dropped 7 lb from his opening BHA rating of 57.
