Best horse racing tips: After plenty of festive cheer we look to bash the bookies with more big value on New Years Eve

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 on New Year’s Eve.

Longshot

COUNT OTTO (2.35 Lingfield)

Stepping up from six furlongs looks a wise move for this five-year-old who stayed on well here last time.

He has winning form at the track and has run well from much higher marks than this. It would be no surprise to see him make the frame at a decent price.

Each-way Thief

VENTURA VISION (1.30 Lingfield)

Jack Mitchell is an interesting booking for Mark Johnston’s juvenile who has been in good form at Chelmsford.

She ran on well when beaten less than two lengths there last time on the back of a gutsy win. She has solid claims from the same mark.

COME ON GIRL (3.35 Lingfield)

Michael Appleby’s filly has been running well enough without getting her head in front.

She is a hefty 7lb lower than a fair fourth here last time. Dropping back in distance may get the job done.

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

WARWICK

12.16   Aheadfullofdreams     

First pace the post at Ayr latest and can strike again.

12.50   Hunny Moon   

Promising effort when second on hurdles debut at Leicester.

Good second at Lingfield latest and will like this ground.

1.50     Vicenzo Mio    

Looks handicapped to go close in ideal ground.

2.25     Mr Washington (treble)          

Had plenty in hand when landing the hat-trick at Ludlow.

Expensive buy who went close on bumper debut latest.

LINGFIELD

12.25   Saaheq 

Good effort here last time and is down the weights.

Knocking on the door and rider’s claim could make difference.

Has been running well at Chelmsford and won’t be far away.

2.00     Fox Duty Free (nb)      

Every chance of making it three in a row for new yard.

Only 3lb higher than his last course and distance win.
