Timeform pick out a bet apiece from Warwick, Taunton and Kempton on Thursday...

13:00 Warwick - Top Gamble

We kick off proceedings with a two-mile novices' handicap chase and plenty have the potential  to do better over fences. For tomorrow's purposes Top Gamble looks the most likely winner, as he created a good impression when readily accounting for next-time-out winner Yorkist at Wetherby last month. He has been let in lightly on his handicap bow in this sphere and looks more than capable of taking advantage, although the likes of Gone Too Far and Hit The Top are respected nonetheless.

Taunton 15:10 - Money For Nothing

We head to Taunton for another handicap chase, this time over three miles, for the next contest under consideration. Come On Annie will take some stopping if getting her act together on her third attempt over fences but that is a big if and Money For Nothing rates as a more solid option. He finished an encouraging second off this mark on his chase bow at Huntingdon last month and is entitled to do better with that experience under his belt. 

Kempton 18:20 - Big Baz

Our final bet of the day comes in a handicap over a mile from the polytrack at Kempton, and given that Big Baz boasts a positive profile on this surface, he is taken to defy a 5 lb rise for his authoritative Lingfield success last time and give us a winning end to the day. That reaction from the assessor looks more than fair and although there are other well-handicapped runners like Outer Space, the selection should be capable of progressing through the ranks once more. 

Recommended Bets:

Back Top Gamble @ 3.02/1 in the 13:00 at Warwick
Back Money For Nothing @ 3.953/1 in the 15:10 at Taunton
Back Big Baz @ 2.962/1 in the 18:20 at Kempton
