Friday's free racing tips: our experts provide their best bets

Handicappers' nap

Lasting Legacy (6.35 Newcastle)

A taking winner of a novice contest over course and distance last time and can follow up off a fair opening mark.
Simon Turner

If you rate the ratings, you can have our handicappers' view on every race as part of our Members' Club Essential package

Newmarket nap

Chasing Dreams (5.55 Wolverhampton)

Was Charlie Appleby's Queen Mary filly until suffering a setback after scoring on her debut at the Newmarket Craven meeting. The daughter of Starspangledbanner is over that and is well drawn.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Moktamel (5.45 Dundalk)

He can make amends after being narrowly defeated over course and distance last time for trainer Kevin Prendergast.
Raceform

Irish Angle

Festina Plente (6.45 Dundalk)

The Johnny Murtagh-trained three-year-old gets the vote to record a third win at Dundalk, where she finished third over 7f last time.
Tony O'Hehir

Ace Tipster

Hepijeu (4.05 Fakenham)

Still progressing for Stuart Edmunds and these conditions, as well as a short break since her last run, should be in her favour.
Keith Melrose

Speed Figures

Mcnamaras Band (3.50 Uttoxeter)

Signed off last term with a clear-cut success at Chepstow and can carry on where he left off over this longer trip.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Perfect Swiss (5:35 Newcastle)

He opened his account at the 12th attempt when bolting up over course and distance last week and is the one to beat again.
Steve Boow

Racing Post Spotlights are the industry standard for horse-by-horse pre-race previews and tips. You can access them for all races by subscribing to Members' Club Essential

Dark horse

Smart Getaway (2.25 Fakenham)

Impressive winner on her debut for Olly Murphy at Southwell but has since been beaten there twice when going off favourite. Cheekpieces are applied for her handicap debut under Aidan Coleman.
Rob Sutton

Must-have stat of the day

Ciaran Gethings has won 12 of his 20 starts at Fakenham in the last three seasons. He gets on particularly well with Hepijeu, who has course figures of 211 and contests the 4.05.
