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

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

West Country

Brave Kingdom (2.25 Sandown)

Impressive when bursting clear on hurdles debut at Chepstow. Still very unexposed and could develop into a high-class novice. This looks a suitable next step up the ladder.
James Stevens

Ace tipster

Tip Top Cat(1.30 Exeter)

Has shown improved form on both outings since switching to Fergal O'Brien, and got the better of a three-way tussle when landing a 2m7f handicap hurdle at this course last time. He is up 4lb, but remains lightly raced and open to plenty of further improvement for the yard.
Graeme Rodway

Eyecatcher

Lahore (5.45 Newcastle)

Hasn't won for a while but is on a fair mark and seemed unfortunate last time not to be closer having repeatedly found trouble in running.
David Toft

Handicappers' nap

Well Planted (12.00 Sedgefield)

Has shaped well on both starts over hurdles, most recently when chasing home a fair sort at Ayr, and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark.

Speed figures

Engles Rock (3.45 Newcastle)

A course-and-distance winner in October, she was just denied over the same trip and track last time and may resume winning ways.

Dark horse

Champagnesuperover (2.05 Exeter)

The Olly Murphy-trained gelding looked to be in need of the run last time on his chase debut and will come on for the outing. Finished seventh in last season's Albert Bartlett, so clearly has the ability in this sphere.
