Thursday Tips

Anita Chambers heads to Yarmouth for her best bet of the day on Thursday - she has a selection for every race in the UK and Ireland.

Dragon Sun can notch up his hat-trick in the Nicholsons Stalham Engineering Handicap at Yarmouth.

The son of Pivotal failed to make an impact in three juvenile outings last year - but after being gelded over the winter and switched to handicap company, he has won each of his two starts for Richard Hannon.

He was well supported first time out at Lingfield in March, and that confidence proved well placed as he suffered a slightly troubled passage but still managed to run out a cosy length winner.

Hiked 7lb in the ratings for that effort, Dragon Sun rolled on to Beverley at the end of last month when he looked to have a good chunk in hand as he triumphed by just a neck.

A steady early pace that day was probably not in his favour, but the margin of victory limited the handicapper to just a 4lb rise - and Dragon Sun could still be ahead of the game.

Informed Front is a noteworthy newcomer for John Gosden in the Eastern Power Systems Of Norwich Novice Stakes.

He did not make the track as a juvenile, but boasts an excellent pedigree as a son of War Front out a Breeders' Cup winner in Informed Decision.

Stone Mason looks up to the task in the second division of the Cumwhinton Maiden Stakes at Carlisle, after finishing third on his racecourse bow at the start of the month.

He found a couple of more experienced rivals a shade too good at Wetherby, showing plenty before just dropping away in the closing stages.

Stone Mason will surely feel the benefit of that outing, and Roger Charlton has found a nice opportunity here.

Sameem was not beaten far at all last time, and should be given another chance in the Call Star Sports On 08000 521 321 Handicap at Sandown.

Following his one juvenile win in four starts and a victorious return in a Redcar handicap in April, James Tate opted to pitch Sameem into the Blue Riband Trial at Epsom - a decision that failed to pay off.

Sameem was quite keen that day and got into a battle for the lead in the Listed contest, with his early exertions soon taking their toll as he faded to finish last of seven.

A return to handicap level last time proved more to his liking though, again trying to make the running before holding on for third against a short-priced Godolphin favourite.

A 3lb rise looks a bit harsh, but Sameem cannot be ruled out.

Mokammal has been gelded since his last run, so it will be interesting to see how he fares in the Follow @RacingTV On Twitter Novice Median Auction Stakes at Wetherby.

Second behind a subsequent Group race winner on his only two-year-old run, Mokammal disappointed when only third as an odds-on favourite on his return at Wolverhampton.

He kept on again when beaten, offering some hope that he can get off the mark here.

Makawee struck gold at York on Saturday, and makes a quick return in the Watch Racing TV In Stunning HD Fillies' Handicap.

Saddled with an extra 5lb for that win, she steps up to 14 furlongs in this heat - but trainer David O'Meara has made it clear he expects her to improve again for a longer trip.

Poetic Motion is the pick in Lingfield's Best Odds Guaranteed At bet365 Handicap, following her latest win at Bath.
