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

Handicappers' nap

Dancewiththewind (3.35 Kelso)

Upped 3lb for his Wetherby win at Christmas but this lightly raced course-and-distance winner remains fairly treated on the pick of his form.

The Punt nap

Swallows Song (2.05 Kelso)

Bumper winner who has stayed on powerfully in a couple of 2m3½f hurdles at Catterick. Looks certain to stay this longer trip and opening mark of 109 seems generous, especially with Dylan Johnston claiming 7lb.

Twistaline (4.45 Southwell)

Hasn't scored for 12 months but recent efforts suggest a return to winning ways could be imminent.

West Country nap

Flash Collonges (4.05 Kelso)

Form of second to Thyme Hill in November looks strong now. Interesting back in handicap company.

Eyecatcher

Miami Thunder (6.00 Dundalk)

Ran a fine race behind a subsequent winner on his debut last month and, while not so good next time, warrants another chance with Seamus Heffernan taking over from a 7f claimer.

Dark horse

Pipers Cross (2.05 Kelso)

Risky proposition having shown just minor promise in three novice hurdles but did win a bumper at this track on good ground. This significant step up in trip and return to better ground could bring improvement on this handicap debut.
