Sunday's top tips: our experts give their bets bets for the day

Handicappers' nap

Totterdown (2.55 Sandown)

Bolted up off a similar mark in heavy ground in this race last year and should make a bold bid to make a winning debut for his in-form yard.

Eyecatcher

Bells Of Peterboro (4.10 Ffos Las)

Raced on ground worse than good for the first time last month and made good headway after the last. Showed improved form on the easier surface.

Irish angle

Theatre World (12.05 Navan)

A course-and-distance winner on good ground in September, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained seven-year-old can land the opener having coped quite well with slower conditions when second at Limerick last month.
Tony O'Hehir

Ace tipster

Fakir D'oudairies (3.15 Navan)

Posted some fine efforts over hurdles last season and is expected to take full advantage of his four-year-old allowance.
Cathal Gahan

Speed figures

Envoye Special (1.15 Sandown)

Has finished runner-up in four of his five starts over fences but has shown plenty of promise and can gain an overdue initial success in that sphere.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Totterdown (2.55 Sandown)

Left Richard Phillips after two disappointing efforts towards end of last season but now only 1lb higher than when dominating 19 rivals from the front in this race a year ago (heavy ground) and new stable could hardly be in better form; highly respected.

Dark horse

Lord Of The Island (12.45 Sandown)

Heavy-ground winner round here in the past and could be worth chancing having won fresh previously for a yard among the winners.
Simon Giles

Must-have stat of the day

Since the start of 2018, Warren Greatrex has had three winners from five runners (60 per cent +£12) in handicap hurdles at Ffos Las. His Gangster goes in that company at 3.05.
