The Punt Daily: Tom Collins' free horse racing tip on Thursday afternoon

GOOD THING

Bendy Spirit(1.55 Newcastle)

Frustrating sort who finally got his head in front after numerous placed efforts in a 0-75 handicap at Lingfield a week ago. Before that victory he looked one to take on, but it was hard not to be impressed by the style of his easy four-length score off a career-high mark of 74 and there could be much more to come. Connor Murtagh was aboard him for the first time that day and retains the ride, while he has plenty of form at this course from earlier in the season. An 8lb rise is fair and he might be able to dictate matters from the front once again.
