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

Handicappers' nap

French import who showed his true colours when bolting up on his second start for Harry Derham at Lingfield last week. Should take all the beating under a 7lb penalty.

The Punt nap

Mayhem Mya (1.55 Exeter)

Second to a subsequent winner in a Listed contest over this track and trip last month. Chris Honour's mare should go one better in a weaker event.

Eyecatcher

Khangai (5.45 Southwell)

Improved for the fitting of blinkers last time, keeping on well over 1m2f despite enduring a wide trip. Extra furlong here should suit Mark Rimell's three-year-old.

Speed figures

Joker De Mai (2.25 Exeter)

Dual scorer in France who won with authority in a good time at Lingfield a week ago. May prove the ace in this pack even with a penalty.

West Country nap

Endless Escape (1.55 Exeter)

Shaped with promise here last time out when seemingly needing the run. Boasts best hurdles form and is the one to beat.

Dark horse

Man On A Mission (4.45 Southwell)

Has been in the first three in four of his six starts here. Fourth at Chelmsford last time was a step back in the right direction and he has dropped to a favourable mark.
