Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's seven meetings

Thursday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team

Doncaster

Drying ground would bring Touchwood into the argument in the returning cheekpieces, while the application of a visor appears to have helped Beauty Choice who shouldn't mind what the weather does. He looks a serious player, but preference is for IMPELLER who is 4lb higher than for his latest Carlisle success but just 1lb higher than when winning over this course and distance last summer. After John, Lezardrieux and Madame Fenella are others to consider.

Leopardstown

6.22: Zarinsk

Tarawa is a likely scorer at this level, but the likeliest winner is ZARINSK who was convincing in the Brownstown Stakes two weeks ago and for whom soft ground holds no fears. Power Under Me and the unexposed Lord Massusus should also go well.

Limerick

6.35: Walking The Walk

Tuff Days will surely get his head in front sooner or later but the wait may have to continue as these conditions might be too soft for him. Preference is for WALKING THE WALK, whose consistency counts for a lot at this level, and he'll give his running once more under conditions that suit. If taking his recent run over fences at face value, then How Decc has to be respected.

Newbury

7.45: Cinnodin

The three-year-old CINNODIN has done very well over 1m4f and 1m6f this year and there can be optimism this first crack at 2m will prompt further improvement. Course-and-distance winner Tin Fandango went close at Chepstow last time and is second choice, ahead of the handicap newcomer Spiced Rum who could benefit from the step up in trip.

Sandown

4.55: Loughville

Most of the field are very lightly raced and unexposed but a fair few also have major questions to answer already. Kamanika is not one of those, having won two 1m2f handicaps already this term, the latest last time out. She should go well again but may prove vulnerable to improvement from the seasonal and handicap debutante LOUGHVILLE who showed promise on the all-weather as a two-year-old. Surrey Belle may be second best, following her second in a 1m2f handicap at Ffos Las where she looked a bit better than the bare result.

Worcester

2.50: Bagheera Ginge

Having split a pair of subsequent winners over 2m4f here last month, BAGHEERA GINGE looks to have a strong chance of claiming his first chasing success. Biowavego finished behind Gats And Co on his chasing debut but should improve for that experience and is feared most.

Yarmouth

8.30: Like A Tiger

A good finale. LIKE A TIGER should get his ground this time and this Group-entered colt can show he's a three-year-old still very much on the up. The returning Eagle's Way was 4-4 in his three-year-old career and is unlikely to give up his unbeaten handicap record without a fight. Next on the list is progressive front-runner Cumulonimbus.
