Racing Tips For Today: Back this Pipe improver at Taunton

There's five race meetings across the UK and Ireland on Thursday, and we've highlighted three eye-catching selections from our Naps Table tipsters...

Miss Molinari - Lingfield 12:33

Tipster - Luke Tucker, Cambridge Evening News; Angle - Potential improver

Fresh from a 9/4 winning selection on Wednesday, Luke Tucker of the Cambridge Evening News will attempt to land more success on Thursday and heads to Lingfield Park races for his best bet of the day. Tucker is siding with the Charlie Longsdon-trained Miss Molinari, who ended last season with a win over course and distance, and will be looking to follow up again today. Lining up off a 6 lb higher mark, Longsdon's charge will need to improve, but that victory in January was impressive in heavy going, and he can quite easily follow up this afternoon.

Nobel Joshua - Taunton 13:11

Tipster - Garry Owen, Daily Record; Angle - Fascinating Pipe contender

David Pipe acquired an intriguing four-year-old earlier in the year in the shape of Nobel Joshua, who showed some smart form while under the stewardship of Gordon Elliott, but is now looking to make waves at Pond House. The youngster will line up on Thursday in the 13:11 at Taunton races and is the selection of Garry Owen from the Daily Record, who bagged a winning 9/4 Nap yesterday. Nobel Joshua was last seen finishing second at Exeter, and lines up off a 2 lb lower mark today. Open to improvement, Nobel Joshua was a winner over three miles for Elliott at Clonmel, and will look to deliver over the same trip today, and looks a major contender.

Oneknightmoreihope - Thurles 15:25

Tipster - The Irish Sun, Angle - Back this maiden in Ireland

With a 100/30 winner yesterday at Dundalk, The Irish Sun tipster heads to Thurles races for the best bet of the day and is siding with a maiden, who can finally break his duck on Thursday afternoon. Oneknightmoreihope produced a career best when finishing second at Fairyhouse earlier this month off a mark of 86, and having only been upped a 1 lb by the handicapper, then the five-year-old can finally get his head in front in what looks a mediocre contest in the Emerald Isle.
