Timeform UK SmartPlays: Sunday January 6

"Trainer Ruth Carr got herself back among the winners at this venue on Thursday and Hab Reeh can add to the tally, provided that jockey Gemma Tutty can get the fractions right out in front..."

Today's SmartPlays take place at both Wolverhampton and Plumpton...

We get underway in the opening event at Wolverhampton, with Hab Reeh taken to land the spoils. Trainer Ruth Carr got herself back among the winners at this venue on Thursday and Hab Reeh can add to the tally, provided that jockey Gemma Tutty can get the fractions right out in front as the five-year-old has done too much in front on each of his last two starts. Hab Reeh has returned to his last winning mark and he should make a good fist of entering the winners' enclosure once more. 

The main event of the day at Plumpton is the Sussex National, in which AP McCoy has an excellent chance to atone for yesterday's narrow reversal in the Welsh National as he takes the ride aboard Mission Complete. The selection and main rival Reblis are closely matched on their meeting at Warwick last month, where Mission Complete triumphed by a neck in receipt of 13 lb. Reblis is forced to concede 11 lb to the Jonjo O'Neill-trained Mission Complete this afternoon and he may find it difficult to reverse the form, with Mission Complete likely to prove capable of better now he has got his act together in this sphere. 

We return to Wolverhampton for the 16:50, where it can pay to forgive John Coffey's latest effort. The four-year-old clearly didn't take to fibresand that surface that day, which is more than understandable, and his previous form strikes as being solid in the context of this race. John Coffey ran well when third at Redcar in August but put up his best effort since when fifth here in October, being well supported in the market that day, and it would come as no surprise were connections to get more out of him at some stage, given that he is lightly raced.
