Thursday's free racing tips: six horses to consider putting in your multiples

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

Handicappers' nap

Caught the eye when an unlucky fifth at Newcastle last time. The Lawrence Mullaney-trained gelding is a dual course-and-distance winner, latterly off 4lb higher than today's mark in late August last year, and should find this run to suit.

Eyecatcher

Garden Route (4.45 Salisbury)

Flopped on deep ground at Goodwood, but this will be more suitable and he can strike under Ryan Moore.

The Punt nap

Symbology (3.40 Salisbury)

Not disgraced in Group company lately and took another step forward when a good third in the Lowther Stakes at York last time. This track should suit and she can take another step forward for trainer Clive Cox.

Speed figures

Miaharris (3.40 Salisbury)

Unbeaten dual scorer, got up close home over the minimum trip at Newbury last time and has hat-trick prospects over a furlong further.

Dark horse

Candle Of Hope (4.15 Salisbury)

Hasn't won for over a year but has shown solid form in recent starts without troubling the judge. Has dropped another 2lb since York last time out and is hard to rule out with her stable in such good form.
