Thursday's best bets ranked in order of confidence by our top tipsters

Handicappers' nap

Puffin Bay(1.45 Wincanton)

Has shaped well on both her starts over hurdles and this looks a good opportunity for the Stratford bumper winner.

Ace tipster

Kingfisher Lane(3.40 Newcastle)

Form of his Downpatrick second looks pretty strong in the context of this race, and jockey Brian Hughes has an excellent 28 per cent strike-rate (ten from 36) when riding bumper runners for the yard.
David Baxter

West Country

Amelia's Dance (3.50 Wincanton)

Put up a sequence of good efforts when strong in the betting at Class 4 level. Drops in grade here and has run well at the track before.
James Stevens

Speed figures

Sam Barton(1.52 Market Rasen)

Not disgraced on his chasing bow at Ascot recently and if he can polish up his jumping he could be in the shake-up.
Dave Edwards

Eyecatcher

Sam Barton(1.52 Market Rasen)

Smashing chase prospect who was in need of the run on his reappearance. Can score in the first-time cheekpieces.
Mark Brown

Dark horse

Our Idic Boy(1.07 Newcastle)

Improved form when fourth on reappearance at Taunton. Remains lightly raced and any further progression should see him go close despite running from out of the handicap.
