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

Filibustering (4.00 Haydock)

Easy nine-length winner on soft ground in May and has performed with credit in better company since for Tim Easterby. Better than the bare form of his staying-on fifth in a stronger race over course and distance three weeks ago and the return to a testing surface will suit.

Eyecatcher

Apostle (8.30 Wolverhampton)

Sir Mark Prescott's filly found one too good at Salisbury last time but had won well at Chelmsford the time before and this return to the all-weather looks a positive.

The Punt nap

Thunder Roar (5.10 Haydock)

Has form figures on soft ground or worse of 2131123 and is just 2lb higher than when an unlucky second in the Spring Mile in April. Has won after a similar break and can get back on track under Tom Eaves.

Speed figures

Lead Artist (3.35 Newmarket)

Favourite but unable to match strides with Kinross at Doncaster last time. Lightly raced and progressive colt can strike this time.
