Friday's top tips: our experts give their best bets of the day

Handicappers' nap

Mr Love (12.00 Newcastle)

Took advantage of a much reduced handicap mark when winning easily at the third time of asking for his current yard and looks weighted to go in again.
Steve Mason

Eyecatcher

The King Of May (2.50 Newcastle)

Overcame a 554-day absence to win on his chasing debut last month and appears to have taken a major leap forward for the transition to fences.

Ace tipster

The King Of May (2.50 Newcastle)

Took to chasing really well at Carlisle last month, winning a fairly competitive contest, and has more to give in this sphere.
Keith Melrose

Speed figures

Simply The Betts (2.50 Newcastle)

Had plenty left in the locker when successful on his chasing bow at Chepstow last week and can make short work of his penalty.
Dave Edwards

Spotlights nap

Charlie Snow Angel (1.40 Newcastle)

Ran as though the race would bring him on at Kelso last week and that trip would have been on the sharp side, even on heavy ground. He ran several good races last season and warrants plenty of respect.
Alistair Jones

Irish Angle

Rockview Roman (7.15 Dundalk)

Got it all together to win a handicap over course and distance last month and looks capable of further progression.
Brian Sheerin

Dark horse

Sharjah (7.45 Dundalk)

Nine-time course winner who is well handicapped running off a career-low mark of 50. Beaten only three and a half lengths on seasonal debut and will improve for that run.

Must-have stat of the day

Tristan Davidson's three runners at Newcastle in 2019 have all won (+£12.75 to £1 stakes) and he will be hoping dual course winner Casual Cavalier can make it four from four in the 2m4f handicap chase at 1.40.
