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

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

Handicappers' nap

Cheshire Dancer (4.15 Ayr)

This steadily progressive filly ran her best race yet when pulling clear with an unexposed rival at Sandown last month. That was her first run over this 1m2f trip and Jason Hart's mount looks the one to beat off a 3lb higher mark.

Eyecatcher

Redorange (3.50 Yarmouth)

Improved with each start in novice company, and there was plenty to like about his latest second at Salisbury. Looks fairly treated for his nursery debut, and the in-form Rossa Ryan takes over in the saddle.

The Punt nap

Catalyse (1.42 Ayr)

The fourth and fifth from his successful debut at Hamilton have won since and Richard Fahey's juvenile, who was last seen at Royal Ascot, should get back to winning ways in calmer waters here.

Newmarket nap

Reddeef (2.33 Pontefract)

Charlie Fellowes's likeable sort ran into two smart ones at Carlisle last time but has since worked nicely on the Al Bahathri.

Speed figures

Bowen Island (1.42 Ayr)

Has clocked a couple of decent speed figures in defeat including in a hot maiden at York last time. He can finally lose his maiden tag in this contest for Kevin Ryan.

Dark horse

Canon's House (2.42 Ayr)

Showed ability in a three qualifying runs for Mick and David Easterby. He is open to improvement now handicapping, with the drop back to the minimum trip likely to suit.
