Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's five meetings
Thursday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team
Chelmsford
8.30: Bold Ribb
Udaberri and Phantasy Mac linger on dangerous marks but this may be best left to the two recent AW winners Moogie and BOLD RIBB. The selection won with plenty to spare at Lingfield on Friday and remains capable of better over this trip. He can defy his 5lb penalty.
Paul Smith
Newcastle
1.40: Churchella
This can go to CHURCHELLA, who has taken well to Tapeta and can follow up her convincing win off a 6lb lower mark last time. Brunello Breeze and Blue Hawaii may prove her main dangers.
Colin Russell
Stratford
2.55: King Otis
This can go to KING OTIS, who landed a gamble when making all on his stable debut at Plumpton and is well treated under a penalty for that easy win. Samatian had form figures of 132224 last season and he's feared most ahead of Passing Kate and Libor Lad. Chase winner Boys Of Wexford could be dangerous on his switch back to hurdling, while others to keep an eye on are handicap newcomers Smart Casual and Footloose Man.
David Moon
Wolverhampton
2.45: Digital
Absolutelyflawless is better than she showed here last week and should fare better this time but the two to appeal most are Algheed and DIGITAL. The former is back to a handy mark and should be at concert pitch after two runs back from a break but Digital's backers never had a moment's worry at Kempton last week and he looks on a good mark back in a handicap.
Paul Smith
Thurles
2.05: Mollys Mango
Gordon Elliott has considerable depth for races in this category and MOLLYS MANGO looks superior to these rivals on bumper form. Missus Beeton seems to be improving gradually. River Robe has picked up useful experience in bumpers since making her debut over hurdles. Bumper winner Idol ran creditably against geldings last time.
