Timeform UK SmartPlays: Saturday November 1

"Ardkilly Witness should benefit from a recent spin over hurdles at Cheltenham and is taken to strike for his in-form yard."

Ascot and Wetherby provide high-class jumps action on Saturday. Timeform pick out the best bets from across the cards.


Sign of A Victory - 15:00 Ascot

Sign of A Victory looked an unlucky loser when persistently hampered by a loose horse on the run-in at Ayr in April and remains with some potential. He can make a winning reappearance. Mountain King will make a chaser in time, but he's got more to offer in this sphere before then and may pose the biggest threat to the selection, with Ted Spread also coming into the reckoning.

Taquin de Seuil - 15:15 Wetherby

Silviniaco Conti was successful in two of four starts in Grade 1 company last term, notably the King George, and has the best form in the book, but connections may have one eye on races such as the Betfair Chase in three weeks time, and he may be worth opposing on this occasion with Cheltenham Festival scorer Taquin du Seuil, who has had the benefit of a recent pipe-opener. Medermit looks next best.

Ardkilly Witness - 15:35 Ascot

Ardkilly Witness should benefit from a recent spin over hurdles at Cheltenham and is taken to strike for his in-form yard. Le Bec starts life in handicaps from a fair-looking mark and can compete if putting in a fault-free round of jumping, while Merry King was placed in this event 12 months ago and won't be far away again if ready to go after an absence.
