Horse racing tips: This 25-1 longshot will relish fast ground at Haydock plus each-way double at Nottingham

SUN racing is back and looking for some big-priced winners on Thursday.

Read on below to find our top tips.

Longshot

RING OF GOLD (8.00 Haydock)

He struggled on soft ground on his last Flat start. This sounder surface will suit and he is nicely-handicapped on his previous form.

Each-way Thief

CEDAR’S STARS (4.30 Nottingham)

She had excuses when beaten on slow ground last time and she is worth another chance on handicap debut.

TEMUR KHAN (5.00 Nottingham)

He will be happier over this trip having run out of steam over further at Brighton.

Templegate has a pick in every race on Thursday.

NOTTINGHAM

1.00 Love De Vega – sets a good standard and this longer trip will suit

1.35 Green Believer – shaped with promise on debut and will be sharper now

2.10 Dereham – bolted up at Yarmouth latest and hard to beat if in same form

2.45 Muscika – close second at Epsom last week; big chance off same mark

3.20 Refuge – went close at Ripon and first-time visor could eke out progress

3.55 Shaykhoon – lightly-raced and retains plenty of potential for top yard

5.00 Bristol Missile – solid return to action for new yard and longer trip a plus

NEWBURY

1.15 Sovereign Prince – too green for his own good on debut; better expected now

1.45 Seattle Rock – sets a clear standard and this looks a golden opportunity
