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 . . .

The Punt nap

Windance (2.25 Wincanton)

The Anthony Honeyball-trained nine-year-old would have won convincingly at Plumpton had he not unseated his jockey at the final fence. The track and trip will suit and he has enough to bounce back.

Handicappers' nap

Robber's Bridge (4.05 Wincanton)

The form of his close second at Leicester in January has worked out particularly well and he should make a bold bid to go one better off just a 2lb higher mark under James Best.

Eyecatcher

Noble Consort (7.00 Newcastle) 

Daniel Tudhope's mount was at a disadvantage in racing away from where the action developed on his handicap debut over today's course and distance, and shaped better than his finishing position.

West Country

Madaket (3.30 Wincanton)

Finished well when second in a decent contest at Kempton last time. Cheekpieces added now and looks capable of scoring off his mark.

Dark horse

Haut Folin (2.25 Wincanton) 

Has displayed decent form this season and does well in these conditions. Will be hoping to build on Venetia Williams' recent good form as he searches for first win since November.
