Friday fancies: our experts reveal their best bets of the day

Newmarket: David Milnes

Tiger Eye (2.30 Lingfield, nap)

The daughter of Frankel stepped up on her promising debut when scoring impressively at Wolverhampton last time and is expected to follow up under a penalty.

Others to follow
Lingfield: 2.00 Blazed, 3.05 Suzi's Connoisseur, 4.10 Zmhar, 4.40 Moonlight Spirit.
Newcastle: 5.30 Alleyf, 7.00 Severnaya, 7.30 Solar Park.

North: Richard Young

Jan Van Hoof (6.30 Newcastle, nap)

Broke losing run when beating Archimedes over course and distance last time out and deserves credit for coming off the pace in a race run at an ordinary gallop. That form has been franked and he has a big chance of going in again.

Others to follow
Doncaster: 2.10 Tim Rocco, 2.40 Dr Richard Kimble, 3.15 Thyne For Gold, 3.45 Peters Cousin, 4.50 Suggestion.
Lingfield: 2.00 Outside Inside, 3.05 Watchable, 3.35 Zorawar, 4.10 Alicia Darcy.
Newbury: 2.50 Instant Replay.
Newcastle: 5.30 Charles Kingsley, 6.00 Highwayman, 7.00 Menin Gate, 7.30 Edgewood, 8.00 Intense Starlet.

Lambourn: James Burn

Emitom (3.25 Newbury, nap)

Unbeaten five-year-old looks a potential star in the making and can defy a penalty. Any rain would increase his chances.

Others to follow
Doncaster: 2.10 Navajo War Dance, 2.40 Coole Well, 3.45 Sula Island.
Lingfield: 2.00 Motajaasid, 2.30 Shake Me Handy, 3.35 Attain.
Newbury: 1.45 Malachite, 2.20 Brandy James, 4.30 Lex Talionis, 5.00 Nonesuch.

West Country: Andrew King

Legal History (2.10 Doncaster, nap)

Has shown enough in a couple of outings over hurdles this winter to suggest a race of this nature is within his grasp.

Others to follow
Doncaster: 3.15 Away For Slates.
Newbury: 1.45 Friday Night Light, 2.20 Christopher Wood, 2.50 Awake At Midnight, 3.25 Tidal Flow, 3.55 Victarion, 4.30 Orchardstown Cross, 5.00 Swincombe Wiz.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Crystal Lad (1.45 Newbury, nap)

Very well handicapped on the pick of his form and shaped as if he could be poised to strike when chasing home a progressive rival at Market Rasen last time out.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Zmhar (4.10 Lingfield)

Annihilated the opposition in a standout time at Chelmsford nine days ago and should not be troubled by a penalty.

Longshot: Dave Revers

Outside Inside (2.00 Lingfield)

A lightly raced type from an in-form stable, who could prove hard to catch from a good draw. Oliver Stammers takes off a handy 7lb too.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Drakensberg (8.15 Dundalk)

A winner in Germany and France before joining Tony Martin, this five-year-old got off the mark when scoring easily over course and trip three weeks ago. Although raised 14lb for that six-length win he can follow up under Robbie Colgan.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

Philip Hobbs is 6-17 in novice hurdles at Newbury since the start of 2015 and a £1 stake on all his runners would have returned a massive profit of £88.50. Tidal Flow, who is 2-2 at the track, goes in the 2m4½f event at 3.25.
