Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's five meetings

Friday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team

Doncaster

1.15: Funambule Sivola

Topweight Funambule Sivola is handicapped to run a big race on his best 2021 form and can be forgiven his defeat at Cheltenham on New Year's Day, when he was found out by the stiff, extended 2m4f on soft ground. He drops back down in trip today and is the selection ahead of Before Midnight, who completed a four-timer in November before facing a very tough task behind Shishkin over Christmas.

Dundalk

7.00: Crystal Dawn

Not many of these make huge appeal. The consistent Tai Sing Yeh should be thereabouts, while Resourceful Man has a definite chance if on his best behaviour. The selection though is Crystal Dawn, a consistent individual who will be hard to beat if reproducing her run here last week.

Huntingdon

2.00: Sherborne

Colin Tizzard's lightly raced Sherborne should go on to better things now raised in trip for his handicap debut and he may have got in lightly. For Langy could easily leave his Sandown form behind and is worth considering at lengthy odds, as is Storm Dennis.
Alistair Jones

Lingfield

3.50: Enfranchise

Having performed very well in a Class 2 handicap over C&D last Saturday, Enfranchise holds strong claims off the same mark back down in grade. Her main threats, based on recent form, are Classy Dame and Fountain Cross in that order of preference.
Steve Boow

Wolverhampton

4.45: Sea Formula

Although Lightening Gesture looks the stronger of the two Karl Burke runners, he may have to settle for third again behind Little Raven and Sea Formula. William Haggas's handicap debutante looks the one to be on after shaping as though this longer trip would be in her favour when second over 7f last time.
