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

Handicappers' nap

Lincoln Lyn (3.35 Wetherby)

Ran well over course and distance last season and shaped as if her turn was close when a good third at Fakenham. The booking of Brian Hughes in the saddle is a plus.

The Punt nap

The Foxes (1.00 Southwell)

Top-class for Andrew Balding last year, winning the Dante before runner-up in an American Grade 1. Sets the standard on ratings and should have the class to win after a 155-day break.

Eyecatcher

Tactical Move (3.25 Gowran Park)

Sparingly raced ten-year-old but has a high level of ability and is taken to score at the second attempt over fences in a race where Willie Mullins is well represented.

Daafy (2.45 Southwell)

All five career wins have come at today's track and Derek Shaw's seven-year-old can continue his love affair with the course.
