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

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

Haydock

3.15: Keep Wondering

Spotlight verdict
This is competitive and quite a few make the shortlist. Wouldubewell faces tougher opposition than on her chasing debut but is open to any amount of improvement. Up Helly Aa King looks a solid each-way option while Orrisdale (second choice) has been knocking at the door. However, the most interesting candidate is KEEP WONDERING, who looks well treated if building on an encouraging return from a long layoff at Chepstow.

Taunton

3.00: The Boat

Spotlight verdict
There is no doubt that THE BOAT was lucky to land a gamble at Market Rasen four weeks ago but the horse that was clear when falling at the final fence won by 17l off a 9lb higher mark at Catterick on Tuesday and Evan Williams' lightly raced 5yo is probably still well handicapped after a 2lb nudge up the weights. Give Us A Swig is second choice. Eaton Miller can also feature if ready to roll after his layoff.
Chris Wilson

Wolverhampton

7.00: The First Hurrah

Spotlight verdict
Today may well be the day the 3yo THE FIRST HURRAH lands her first win, having been a close second over C&D recently on her second stable start. The in-form Porfin is second choice ahead of the consistent course specialist Peachey Carnehan.
