Horse racing: 16-1 outsider can make a mockery of long odds back up in trip

SUN RACING is back to give you some insight on big horses at even bigger prices.

Here, we try to find the value bets which could net you a tasty return from a small stake.

Longshot

FIL D’ARIANE (4.45 Sandown)

He was good enough to win at Leicester three runs ago and has a chance from just 4lb higher in the weights today.

Each way thief

BEAT THE BREEZE (12.30 Lingfield)

He landed a hat-trick of wins late last year, including one over this course and distance. He then had a little break and looked rusty when beaten four lengths on comeback here last time. His handicap mark still looks fair and he’ll get closer today.

MIDNIGHT MUSTANG (4.05 Leicester)

He may be 14 now but he turned back the clock when finishing a cracking second here last time out. This race doesn’t look any tougher and his best form has come over this trip with soft ground right up his street.

Don’t forget, SunSport tipster Templegate has given a verdict on every race on Friday.

LINGFIELD

12.30   Abel Tasman   

Good winner over course and distance last time out.

Few miles on the clock and has shown best over this C&D.

LEICESTER

2.20     Espoir De Romay        

Chased home classy Royale Pagaille at Haydock last time.

2.55     Flashing Glance           

Should find this a fair bit easier than his Ludlow contest latest.

3.30     Lots Of Luck (nb)         

Keeps going close and looks on a handy mark today.

4.05     K’Chou Du Pecos         

Good run latest and should improve over this longer trip.

4.35     Oscar Wilde    

Has his sights lowered and looks handicapped to win.

5.10     Tango De Juilley
