Friday's free racing tips: six horses to consider putting in your multiple bets

Friday's best bets ranked in order of confidence by our top tipsters . . .

Handicappers' nap

Novello Lad (3.10 Thirsk)

Improved to open his account at Doncaster last time, form that has been boosted since. A 4lb rise in the weights looks fair and he’s fancied to follow up for trainer Paul Midgley.

Eyecatcher

Calafrio (4.40 Thirsk)

Yet to win but has a good chance at the weights and Phil Kirby's runner will be suited by the drop back to 6f.

The Punt nap

Revenue (4.00 Brighton)

The Eve Johnson Houghton-trained three-year-old has been really consistent since May, is already a track winner, and goes off the same mark as when second at Chepstow behind a subsequent winner last time.

Speed figures

Wigmore Street (7.35 Tipperary)

Put in a solid enough time performance in a competitive Naas handicap to make this conditions event within his grasp.

Newmarket nap

True Courage (4.10 Thirsk)

Won easily over course-and-distance three starts back and had excuses subsequently. Can regain winning ways reunited with Kevin Stott.

Dark horse

La Bellota (2.20 Musselburgh)

Wouldn't be a big surprise if this son of Mehmas was to put up another bold bid after an impressive debut where the form is rock solid.
