Free horse racing tips for Thursday, December 19 at Southwell, Exeter and Ffos Las

The Punt nap

Bridget Mary (12.57 Ffos Las)

Third over course and distance over fences last time and this return to hurdles should suit. Rebecca Curtis and Sean Bowen team up for the first time since combining for a Cheltenham winner last Saturday.

Eyecatcher

Beneficiary (3.30 Southwell)

Billy Garritty's mount found only one too good on his last visit to Southwell, and last time out he ran a big race to finish a close-up third at Wolverhampton despite a wide trip. He gets to race off the same mark here.

Handicappers' nap

Kap Ouest (12.10 Exeter)

Has placed behind good novices on two starts over hurdles for Harry Fry, most recently in a steadily run race at Chepstow where he shaped as if this stiffer track would suit.

West Country nap

Pachacuti (1.55 Exeter)

David Pipe has his team in good form and this strong stayer can continue to improve with first-time blinkers added.

Speed figures

Issam (2.30 Exeter)

Big chance of repeating last year's win in this race for Tom Symonds if reproducing the figures recorded when scoring at Wincanton in April and when fourth in the Welsh Champion Hurdle in October.

Dark horse

Charencey (2.55 Southwell)

Had some reasonable form on the turf through the summer and returned from a wind operation with a decent third at Wolverhampton last month. He had no luck at Lingfield two weeks ago and this track should suit more.
