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

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

Handicappers' nap

Hawaii Du Mestivel (2.35 Uttoxeter)

Up 21lb after easy wins at Fontwell and Bangor, but the lightly raced Neil Mulholland-trained gelding finished a close third behind a couple of 130-plus performers in a point-to-point and a revised mark of 102 could still prove generous.

Eyecatcher

Paladin (5.15 Newcastle)

Charlie Johnston's gelding did well to finish as close as he did in fourth after a wide trip over 7f at Kempton last time and remains unexposed over a mile.

The Punt nap

Magic Mild (1.43 Newmarket)

The Clive Cox-trained filly ran a fine third in a Salisbury Group 3 last time and the drying conditions boost her chance.

Speed figures

Heltenham (3.00 Wetherby)

Has an excellent wins-to-runs ratio and was highly progressive last season. March's Newbury win was the standout on time.

West Country nap

Sunset Marquesa (12.55 Uttoxeter)

Showed ability in bumpers last season, including a win on her first run, and Joe Tizzard's yard is in top form.

Dark horse

Spherical (1.43 Newmarket)

Has a bit to find with some of these but is going the right way. Made it two wins from five starts at Kempton last time, keeping on well despite being quite keen throughout, and no surprise if she takes a big step forward.
