Horse Racing Tips: Check out the best bets for Friday's racing
There's a bumper eight horse racing fixtures taking place on Friday and there's a trio of afternoon fixtures coming from Brighton, Carlisle and Chepstow, while there's a whopping five meetings on offer this evening. It kicks off at Limerick at 17:10, while there's alternative Irish racing at Fairyhouse, with three UK meetings coming from Stratford, Haydock and Pontefract. We take a look at all today's racing and pick out some of the best bets from our host of racing tipsters here...
Expert Eye from On The Nose has been in rip-snorting form since the start of the naps table, and the table-topper has enhanced a fine lead at the top of the table with back-to-back winning selections on Wednesday and Thursday. The tipster, who has a fine profit of £39.96 will look to land a hat-trick of winning naps on Friday and heads to Carlisle's 16:30 contest for the best bet of the day. The 11/10 favourite Makeen is the best bet of Expert Eye, and the five-year-old was seen winning two starts ago before finishing third at Carlisle, but off the same mark of 74 today the form performer can strike again.
The Sporting Life tipster is another that has bagged back-to-back winners and is another heading to Carlisle for the best bet of the day. Paul Midgley's Elegant Erin was an impressive one-and-a-quarter length winner at Beverley last time out, and will now need to defy a 5lb higher mark in the 14:55 race today, and at 100/30 she looks a leading player.
Newmarket of the Racing Post is the only other tipster to bag two winning naps over the last two days, and that tipster heads to Haydock Park for the best bet. John & Thady Gosden's One World is an 11/4 chance for the 19:25, and the son of Sea The Stars will make his racecourse debut on Friday evening, and could be a smart performer and is worth watching.

Lambourn of the Racing Post is going in search of Expert Eye at the top of the naps table, and the second placed tipster heads to the 20:55 at Haydock this evening and is backing the 14/1 chance Mambo Beat, while another double-figured price nap comes from Farringdon of the Morning Star, who has napped the 16/1 chance River Chorus in the 16:25 at Brighton.
There's some decent National Hunt racing at Stratford this evening and the Pertemps Network Stratford Foxhunters Champion Hunters' Chase at 19:05 is one of the feature races and Irish raider Vaucelet, who was second in the hunter chase at the Punchestown Festival is a 6/4 favourite for the contest, and is the best bet of The Scout and Fortunatus.
For those punters looking for a few tips in Ireland today could be wise to side with the Aidan O'Brien-trained Hms Endeavour, who is a 5/2 chance for the 18:50 at Fairyhouse and is the best of Ian Gaughan from the Irish Herald. An alternative Irish best bet is the 5/2 chance Snapius, who is a 5/2 shot for the 17:20 at Fairyhouse and is the best bet of The Punt from The Racing Post.
