Horse racing tips: Three big-price bankers to beat the bookies on Thursday

SUN Racing goes looking for value on Thursday.

Read on for our top tips.

LONGSHOT

SILKS DREAM (4.30 Lingfield)

He has few miles on the clock and has had some help from the handicapper despite a decent fourth at Bath last time. There should be more to come.

THIEF

ENDOWED (4.07 Salisbury)

He’s been in cracking form at Brighton with a second followed by a gutsy win. This trip is ideal and some juice in the ground helps his chances.

WHITEHAVEN (5.12 Salisbury)

He scored at Newmarket around this time last year and ran his best race since when a close second at Haydock last time. He stays well and will be competitive again.

WARWICK

1.00 Ginger Du Val

Good win at Newton Abbot and can defy penalty.

1.30 Royal Pretender

Progressed well last season and can make a winning start.

2.00 Friend Or Foe
