Thursday tips: our regional experts with their best bets of the day

Newmarket: David Milnes

Kvetuschka (7.25 Chelmsford, nap)

Didn't pull up any trees when only beating one home on her debut at Newmarket in November but has worked nicely on the Al Bahathri of late and should enjoy this step up.

Others to follow
Southwell: 3.00 Dolly Dupree.
Chelmsford: 5.25 Ubla, 5.55 Jack The Truth, 6.25 Aircraft Carrier, 7.55 Global Wonder, 8.25 Time Immemorial.

North: Richard Young

Strike West (2.20 Carlisle, nap)

Course-and-distance winner last spring who ran as though needing his reappearance run and latest effort (hampered at a crucial stage) may have come too quickly. Well worth another chance back at this venue for in-form yard.

Others to follow
Carlisle: 2.50 Iwasthefutureonce, 3.25 Magic Of Milan, 3.55 Christmas In Usa, 4.30 Ryalex, 5.05 Djebel Rome, 5.35 Border Breaker.
Chelmsford: 5.25 Sir Lancelott, 5.55 Tavener, 6.25 Elegiac, 6.55 Clon Coulis, 7.25 Copper Rose, 7.55 Francophilia, 8.25 Tabou Beach Boy.
Southwell: 3.35 Rajapur, 4.05 Break The Silence, 4.40 Dories Delight, 5.10 Tellovoi, 5.40 Samovar.

Lambourn: James Burn

Rouge Et Blanc (5.35 Carlisle, nap)

The ground cannot be testing enough for this 14-year-old, who has a decent strike-rate. Another plus is the good form of Oliver Sherwood's yard.

Others to follow
Carlisle: 2.50 Dominateur.
Chelmsford: 5.25 Mans Not Trot, 5.55 Charming Guest, 6.55 First Link, 7.25 Ripplet.
Wincanton: 3.15 Dieu Benisse, 3.45 Palixandre, 4.20 Marcel Debruxelles, 5.30 Beyond Redemption.

West Country: Andrew King

Manvers House (4.20 Wincanton, nap)

Yet to get his head in front but has shown enough to suggest he could be up to making his presence felt in this contest.

Others to follow
Wincanton: 1.40 Amzac Magic, 2.10 Champagne Champ, 2.40 One Of Us, 3.15 Miranda, 3.45 Lord Duveen, 4.55 Findusatgorcombe, 5.30 Saint De Reve.
Carlisle: 4.30 Molly Carew.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Miranda (3.15 Wincanton)

A three-time winner on the Flat in France, she made a successful hurdling debut at Ludlow last month and can follow up.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Vis A Vis (3.45 Wincanton, nap)

Smart stayer on the Flat who shaped like a future hurdle winner on his recent debut at Carlisle for the in-form Neil Mulholland.

Longshot: Dave Revers

Mont Kiara (5.55 Chelmsford)

Back on a winning mark and the return to six furlongs is a positive. He could cause a minor shock at a decent each-way price.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Marino Marvel (3.40 Thurles)

Runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over course and distance last month, the Dermot McLoughlin-trained six-year-old, the mount of Conor Maxwell, can get off the mark in what looks a very ordinary handicap.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

Excluding novice events, Quite By Chance has figures of 2111233 in chases at Wincanton (+£10.33 to £1 level stakes). The ten-year-old makes plenty of each-way appeal in the 3m1f handicap chase at 2.40.
