The first two days have undoubtedly been wins for the bookmakers, but Thursday provides 7 more opportunities for punters to strike back!

Our Cheltenham NAP of the Day is our best bet of the day:
Made an impressive return to racing at Catterick last week when dotting up easily over 6 furlongs in a low grade affair.
Gets in here with a 6lbs penalty, officially 1lbs well in and should make a good bid for a quick double.

| 18/08/24 | Southwell | 6.1 | Standard | 9-9 | 6 |

Our Dark Horse tip is one horse at huge odds which our tipsters think offers the best chance of springing a surprise in today's racing:
Plenty of experience last season as a juvenile and chased home some decent types like Aomori City and Field Of Gold in Group races.
Has his sights majorly lowered for his seasonal return but looks on favourable terms with the favourite and can put in a decent effort.
