Friday's free racing tips: super selections for a great day of action

Handicappers' nap

Hill Sixteen (3.35 Newbury)

Seemingly much improved over fences on his recent debut for yard and will be hard to beat if reproducing that form over hurdles.

Ace tipster

Neville's Cross (3.35 Newbury)

Unexposed five-year-old who made mistakes when a beaten favourite at Cheltenham last time when seeking the hat-trick. This track will suit him better and he can make amends for the shrewd Tom Lacey.
Tom Collins

Newmarket nap

Ahlawi (4.45 Chelmsford)

Ran into a decent type when second to Rifleman over 7f at Kempton last time. Hugo Palmer's youngster is built like a sprinter and blew out well for this drop to 6f on the Al Bahathri on Tuesday.
David Milnes

Speed figures

Honest Vic (3.00 Newbury)

Plenty to find on official figures but scored with authority at Cheltenham a month ago and the clock suggests he should not be underestimated in this higher-class race.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Jean Genie (2.35 Doncaster)

Went very close last month on his first two British chase starts and, although now 5lb higher, his latest form received a firm boost when the winner comfortably followed up at Hereford on Wednesday.
Ben Hutton

Dark horse

Elusive Belle (12.45 Newbury)

Ran well at this meeting last year before a very creditable performance in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham. Looked like the run was needed on her debut over fences at Bangor and open to improvement here.
