Thursday's free racing tips: best bets from the Racing Post team

Handicappers' nap

Sandymount Rose(2.40 Ludlow)

Ended a frustrating run of near misses when winning decisively at Exeter last week. Should be hard to beat off the same mark if in similar form.

Ace tipster

It Just Takes Time (6.30 Newcastle)

A handicap blot off 61 when bolting up over 5f at this track last time out, It Just Takes Time should improve for the step up in trip and can follow up off 9lb higher.
Tom Collins

Newmarket nap

Symbolic Power (1.00 Lingfield)

This son of Kingman looks to have been found the perfect opportunity to get his head in front after some decent work on the all-weather surfaces at Moulton Paddocks.

Speed figures

Power Over Me (3.30 Lingfield)

Beat higher-rated horses when scoring on his first start for Robyn Brisland in a modest Chelmsford maiden a week ago and can complete a quick double.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Buckhorn George (2.20 Wincanton)

Won a maiden hurdle here last March and has been a good second this season in two of his first three handicaps, with good to soft ground here perhaps not suiting in between. He can improve for the step up in trip.

Dark horse

Sandymount Rose (2.40 Ludlow)

Ended a run of seconds when scoring at Exeter 11 days ago. Finished that race strongly, which suggests this step up to 3m will suit.
