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

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

Eyecatcher

Onagatheringstorm (3.55 Cheltenham)

Useful course form over further to his name and looks on an attractive mark for this return.
Mark Brown

Handicappers' nap

Calico (1.35 Cheltenham)

Failed to live up to expectations last season but has dropped around a stone in the handicap as a result and will look well treated if rediscovering the form of his novice campaign.
Steve Mason

Speed figures

Hooper (3.55 Cheltenham)

A course winner in April 2021, he has been expensive to follow this term but recent wind surgery may help his prospects of recouping losses.
Dave Edwards

West Country

Spanish Present (3.55 Cheltenham)

Bounced back to form with impressive win at Worcester last month. Ground should be fine and can progress from opening mark of 116.
James Stevens

Punt nap

Restitution (4.55 Newbury)

Consistent type who has improved over hurdles through the summer. Ran well when last seen on the all-weather and could step forward from his current mark.
James Stevens

Dark horse

Madera Mist (4.30 Cheltenham)

Has won twice here before, latest victory over this longer trip in April. Looked like the run was needed when reappearing at Bangor last month and should improve back over fences. James King is a good jockey booking in this sort of race.
