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

EYECATCHER

(4.00 Exeter)

Jeremy Scott's gelding has shown plenty of ability in novice and handicap hurdles so far, despite being winless in nine starts, and looks handicapped to score if settling in the early stages. Often headstrong and therefore held up last, Nifty At Fifty has a high cruising speed and has often travelled through his races in the style of a surefire winner. However, too much ground to make up and wayward jumping cost him victories last year, while he was just beaten in a bob on the line at Southwell on his reappearance nine days ago. That was a step up on previous efforts and with Rex Dingle getting aboard, he can go one better before a 5lb rise kicks in.
