Friday bets: our experts with their best bets of the day

Handicappers' nap

Calder Prince (8.30 Haydock)

Showed his well-being with a fair effort three starts back and the ground was probably softer than ideal since. Well treated if better ground brings a return to form.
Sam Walker

Newmarket nap

Baadirr (2.30 Doncaster)

The son of Showcasing may have run into a decent type when second to Mottrib at Newbury last time and has since moved well on Warren Hill.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Living In The Past (6.40 Beverley)

Lost several lengths at Ripon on debut as she veered sharply left, but there were clear signs of ability and she finished strongly to take third. She can go two better here.

Speed figures

Lola Paige (7.25 Haydock)

Unable to match strides with the hot favourite on her debut at Doncaster last month but ran a race full of promise and can open her account.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Elarqam (3.25 Sandown)

Failed to build on his 2,000 Guineas fourth last season but heading back in the right direction this term. He is still unexposed at 1m2f and warrants great respect under a 3lb penalty.
Steve Boow

Irish angle

Roi De Dubai (7.50 Bellewstown)

The John McConnell-trained seven-year-old made an encouraging return over 2m at Wexford last month and will appreciate the return to a longer trip. He gets the vote to record a third win over hurdles.
Tony O'Hehir

Dark horse

Laurier (9.00 Haydock)

Showed promise on debut at Kempton and is open to improvement on just her second start. She may be overlooked in the market as there are other likely improvers in the race too.
Dave Revers
