Free horse racing tips for Friday, November 14 at Cheltenham, Dundalk and Southwell

Handicappers' nap

Jack Hyde (4.00 Cheltenham)

Back in a handicap after a couple of decent runs in Graded company. Tom Broughton's 5lb claim is a positive as he bids to turn over recent course-and-distance form with topweight Fortune De Mer.

Eyecatchers

Amiata (5.30 Dundalk)

Ger Lyon’s juvenile found his path blocked in the Birdcatcher last time, seeing daylight only late. He can gain compensation on this switch to the all-weather.

The Punt nap

A Pai De Nom (1.10 Cheltenham)

Dan Skelton's handicap debutant finished ahead of two subsequent winners when making a successful start over hurdles in September and an opening mark of 116 looks lenient.

Speed figures

Fortune De Mer (4.00 Cheltenham)

Won a Grade 2 here last month in a decent time and it's odd connections have opted to run in a handicap under topweight. Will need to win this if long-term aim of the County Hurdle is to be fulfilled.

West Country

Walkadina (1.10 Cheltenham)

Has shown a good level of ability, including on last season's comeback, and can take advantage of a low weight.

Dark horse

Maghlaak (1.32 Southwell)

Ran well over hurdles at Kelso last time to finish a close fourth. This is his first start over fences, which could bring improvement, and the good-to-soft ground is in his favour.
