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

Newmarket nap

Maple (5.50 Kempton)

Has shown up nicely in his work for Sir Michael Stoute on the Al Bahathri Polytrack of late and fancied to strike first time.

The Punt nap

Sharjah (6.15 Tipperary)

Demonstrated he still has plenty of his old ability when second to Constitution Hill in the Aintree Hurdle. Gets weight from three of his rivals and is the class horse in the race.

Handicappers' nap

Kodi Dancer (5.00 Yarmouth)

Looked unlucky not to win at Ffos Las last time and holds sound claims off a basement mark, with Billy Loughnane's 3lb claim a bonus.

Finest Leader (8.25 Newbury)

Raised his game on the clock to break his duck at Wetherby a month ago and the figures suggest he can follow up.

Dark horse

Cash Back (6.15 Tipperary)

Consistent front-runner who looks sure to run his race and, with likely favourite Sharjah possibly not the force of old, is set to make a bold bid here with conditions to suit.
