Nap of the day: best horse racing tips from the day's four meetings

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

Chelmsford

7.30: Araifjan

Hit Mac will be popular after his good second at Lingfield on his handicap debut last week and returning to 6f should be beneficial. Ramdon Rocks (second choice) and Marwari also come right into the reckoning but these conditions suit Araifjan (nap) well and he can defy a penalty and follow up last week's game success.
Paul Smith

Clonmel

2.45: Womalko

Despite being beaten at odds-on over further here last time, Womalko (nap) still looks well-treated off 3lb higher and can make amends, with this shorter trip likely to suit. The in-form Happy Dreams could give him most to do.
Tyrone Molloy

Newcastle

2.52: Telhimlisten

The very lightly raced 6yo Telhimlisten (nap) could be on a good mark for this handicap debut and he gets the nod ahead of Russian Virtue, who has produced some fair Flat form since he last ran over hurdles. Bollingerandkrug and Misty Mani are other possible contenders.
Ben Hutton

Taunton

1.00: Baliyad

Most have been struggling to show any worthwhile form. Baliyad (nap) therefore catches the eye having finished runner-up in handicaps on his last two starts. Per Vino Veritas had some respected form last term and Vazir is third on the list with his drop in class. A few of the others do need a market check, however, before they are dismissed.
