The Punt Daily: Tom Collins' free horse racing tips on Friday afternoon

BANKER

(5.05 Haydock)

Six-figure purchase who didn't make the track until his three-year-old year. Following three midfield finishes in novice company, Imperium made a winning handicap debut off a mark of 70, running down a long-time leader to get up on the line over an inadequate 1m4f. He was then set far too tough a task when ridden extremely patiently over 2m next time, a trip he will thrive over in time, before returning to the winner's enclosure off 7lb higher when last seen. The step up in distance and return to turf should be in his favour.

GOOD THING

(3.00 Newmarket)

This Clive Cox-trained filly is the clear form choice in this year's edition of the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes after her runaway Prestige victory at Glorious Goodwood. She proved that she relishes ground with give in it that day, walloping four rivals by seven lengths, and is a well-balanced sort who shouldn't be disadvantaged by this track. Although there are only five runners in this field, a solid gallop should be set, which is another positive to Isabella Giles' chance of making it four wins from five starts. She should be favourite.
