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

Eyecatcher

Little Heron (3.10 Nottingham)

The Michael Bell-trained filly shaped well from off the pace when third at Kempton last time, and the long straight here should give her plenty of time to get rolling.

Topspeed

Smart Charger (3.00 Yarmouth)

Appreciated the step up in trip when collecting gamely over course and distance recently and the figures suggest he can follow up.

Handicappers' nap

Sixties Chic (5.05 Newbury)

Improving filly trained by Jack Channon who overcame a troubled run to beat several in-form sorts at Windsor last time. Looks capable of following up despite a 6lb rise in the weights.

Newmarket nap

Little Heron (3.10 Nottingham)

Dark horse

Double Red (3.25 Newbury)

Slow start compromised his chances on handicap debut at Windsor last time. However, ran well there given the circumstances and not discounted if breaking on terms in this.
