Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's seven meetings

Thursday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team

Carlisle

4.30: Persist

A decent prize on offer and one which Persist should be able to win. Despite her inexperience, she ran well when seventh in an ultra-competitive handicap at Royal Ascot and a repeat of that display should be enough to get the job done here, with the longer distance likely to suit.
Keith McHugh

Doncaster

3.45: Fresh Hope

A hot little race. Fresh Hope fared best of those drawn low when sixth in the fiercely competitive Sandringham fillies' handicap at Royal Ascot and this course winner can come out on top.

Epsom

6.53: Otago

Back in a perfect scenario, Otago could well defy top weight and follow up last year's success in this contest.
Steve Boow

Leopardstown

8.00: Rosscarbery

A cracking renewal but it's very hard to oppose Rosscarbery. She's excelled since joining Paddy Twomey and ran a blinder to finish third in the Pretty Polly, albeit disqualified in controversial circumstances in the aftermath. A reproduction should see her land this.
Brian Dowling

Limerick

6.45: Helpmeout

A filly on the improve, Helpmeout can follow up a recent Leopardstown win off a 6lb higher mark here in what doesn't appear that strong a handicap.
Alan Hewison

Newbury

7.08: Chef De Partie

Perhaps best to focus on the 3yos. Chef De Partie Haydock handicap debut fifth came in quite a warm race and he's taken to come good now moving up in trip with headgear added.
Andrew Sheret

Newmarket

4.04: Enforced

Charlie Appleby has won the last two runnings of this and he has good claims with Noble Dynasty and Echo Point. Success for either wouldn't surprise but preference is for Enforced, who is firmly on the upgrade following wins at Brighton and over this C&D and who hails from the in-form Roger Varian yard.
