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

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

Hexham

The 6yo Horn Cape won in fine style at Sedgefield last week on his second run for Ben Haslam and can defy a 7lb penalty. The return to a left-handed track could be a firm plus for Beat Box and he is second choice ahead of the handicap newcomer Miss Lamb.

Limerick

2.15: So Des Flos

Another maiden lacking strength in depth and perhaps a good opportunity for So Des Flos to get off the mark, chiefly at the expense of Potters Party, both fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Castle Field Boy looks a solid place option with the trip to suit, while Macdermott has plenty to prove now.

Naas

3.42: Crafty Gael

Competitive little race. Thurles winner Mahlers Cove is capable of stepping up, while Dragon's Pass brings very solid handicap form to the table at his best. Only One Plan could go close on his previous form here. The two most likely though are Nemean who has a bit of mileage off this mark on his recent run at Wexford, but preference is for Crafty Gael who was a good second in a competitive contest here last month and looks progressive.

Taunton

2.40: Mumbo Jumbo

This drop in class may well enable Mumbo Jumbo to get off the mark. He has strong form and gives the impression he's capable of winning a race of this nature. Art Decco is feared most, ahead of Garincha.

Warwick

3.35: Saint Segal

Grandeur D'Ame could go very well in his hat-trick bid but he's second choice behind Saint Segal who, like Red Rookie and Rouge Vif, failed to get into the Grand Annual two weeks ago. Saint Segal may well have been prominent in the betting had he started that Cheltenham Festival race, following his strong-finishing second at Doncaster, and this promising 5yo can improve to go one better today.

Wolverhampton

7.30: Flame Of Kodiac

The step up in trip looks sure to suit Flame Of Kodiac and she's taken to win off a handy-looking mark on this handicap debut. Climate Precedent could be the main danger, despite taking a fair drop back in distance.
