THURSDAY LONGSHOTS

Thursday’s racing tips: Three longshots to fill your pockets at Newmarket, Pontefract and Perth

Don't miss out on these each-way bets for Thursday, September 27

THURSDAY marks the beginning of Newmarket's classy Cambridgeshire card, and with some big fields there is plenty of value to be had.

The Sun Racing team have been studying the form of the afternoon meetings and picked out a trio of longshots for you to have a go at.

3.00 Newmarket - Crafty Madam

It could be worth taking a chance on Clive Cox's filly, who will come on for her run last time out when returning from a mid-season break.

She looked disinterested for most of the contest that day but stayed on nicely towards the end and will strip fitter this time.

Unlike a lot of the other fillies in the race, she still looks well-handicapped and can strike for Clive Cox and William Buick.

3.50 Pontefract - King Robert

It remains to be seen how Bryan Smart's gelding will perform at the quirky northern track, but conditions are ideal for him.

Having finished third off a mark of 83 at Doncaster in June, he is now down to 76 after some uninspiring performances.

However, this strong traveller finished well for fourth last time out at Chester, and if building on that could be a force to be reckoned with here.

3.25 Perth - Present Flight

Everything is in place for a big run for Lucinda Russell's gelding.

The ground is perfect and he has dropped to a mark off which he is more than capable of winning.

Having been freshened up by a summer break, he can win this as he shows his best when coming back from a layoff.
