Best horse racing tips: Bash the bookies with more big value on New Year’s Day… including this Musselburgh pick

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

I’M TO BLAME (1.20 Musselburgh)

Keith Dalgleish’s eight-year-old is a quirky customer but he’s rarely out of the frame and was a winner the last time he ran at this track.

He has been off a while but should be fit enough to do himself justice from the mark that saw him finish a close second at Carlisle last season.

Each-way Thief

MISTY BLOOM (1.40 Exeter)

Emma Lavelle ran this eight-year-old in a decent race at Sandown last time and must have been happy with her third.

She is at home in these testing conditions and should be competitive again with her rider taking off a handy 3lb.

ROMAIN DE SENAM (3.05 Musselburgh)

He was a top handicapper a couple of seasons ago for Paul Nicholls and is now with the Skeltons.

He has dropped nicely down the weights and was thrown into the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup at Cheltenham last time by a team that don’t usually go for unrealistic targets.

This is a fair bit easier than that and he should be thereabouts at fair odds.

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