FAVOURITES – RACE START APRIL 18th 2009 15:25 GMT

Chief Dan George : This horse has won his last two outings, albeit over much shorter distances, but right now is attracting a healthy amount of money and is favourite in the ante-post betting.

Best Odds on Chief Dan George : 7/1 at Ladbrokes – Click To Bet

Tricky Trickster : Winner of the National Hunt Chase Challenge Cup at Cheltenham this year, this horse is proven at this distance and may represent a better bet.

Best Odds on Tricky Trickster : 8/1 at Paddy Power – Click To Bet

West End Rocker : Was an early favourite, but has just changed owners, so it would be wise to wait to see if this horse runs at all!

Best Odds on West End Rocker : 10/1 at Bet365 – Click To Bet

That’s Rhythm : Looking good for an outside bet and winner of eight of it’s last nine outings. That’s Rhythm will like what look likely to be good, dry conditions and this is the each way bet that is worth taking.

Lincoln Handicap 15:55 GMT Doncaster

The clear favourite here is Espresso Star (9/2 at Paddy Power ), a horse that likes the rain which, judging by the weather today, might suit trainer John Gosden’s horse.

Also in with a chance are Swop and Blythe Knight.

Blythe Knight has been a winner and runner-up in this race before and is running of 2lb less than last year (when he was runner up).

Well worth a punt at a best price 22/1 at Paddy Power – Click To Bet Now.

Lingfield Racing Tips : 17:10 GMT

Should the rain keep up and it looks likely it will, then A Bit of Fun is a good each way punt. The horse won at Taunton just over two weeks ago and favours soft going. At around 16/1 at Chandler’s, this is a good bet.

2:20 pm Newbury Tips :

Top tip for this one is Cava Bien. Younger horses tend to do well in this race, and Cava Bien recently completed a hat-trick at Taunton, so is on good form.

Challengers here include Alexanderthegreat, but this horse is a little old and pulled up in its last outing.
2:50 pm : Newbury Tips

Katess looks like a promising performer here. I’m ruling out favourites Ping Pong Sivola and Lamanver Homerun as the former is now not running and the latter can be a little fragile. Katess, by contrast, will like the going and is a good bet at around 9/1.

3:05 pm : Lingfield SportingBet Winter Derby Tips

This one has got to be down to either Re Barolo or Suits Me. Both are strong runners at equal weights and either could win this one. Suits Me likes to lead from the front but if jockey Mickey Fenton can’t get him into position, then this could go Re Barolo’s way.
