Top tipster Andrew Mount has three bets at Redcar, Brighton and Sandown on Thursday
OH SO HOT – (1.45 Redcar, 1.5pts win – 11/2)
The ground might be a shade slower than ideal for OH SO HOT (stall 2 of 20) in Redcar’s opener but he looks set to get the run of the race from what is usually a favourable low draw and the forecast tailwind will make life even easier for pacesetters.

BIG BOY BOBBY – (2.00 Brighton, 2pts win – 7/4)
BIG BOB BOBBY fared best of those to chase the early pace when runner-up at Nottingham last time on a day when the round course was favouring patient tactics for a change. Fourth-placed Myristica, who was also on the front end, won at Ripon earlier this week and the application of first-time cheekpieces and booking of Oisin Murphy could help him to get off the mark.
Roger Charlton is nine from 41 (22%) when using this headgear in a handicap on turf for a profit of £33.95 to a £1 level stake at SP.

FARHAN – (7.02 Sandown, 1pt win – 9/1)
It has become very difficult to advise a pre-race bet on the round course (distances of 7f+) at Sandown as the track bias can swing from low-drawn prominent racers to high-drawn hold-up horses from meeting to meeting.
For the best example, watch the replays from July 22 and especially the win of Andaleep. It was a huge advantage to challenge wide that day and those who were prominent towards the inside rail never had a prayer. What kind of Sandown are we in for tonight? Hopefully, the late-wide-round-the-outside route which are the tactics usually employed by FARHAN.
He was a big eyecatcher at Salisbury on his penultimate start, doing easily best of those ridden patiently when a nose second over 1m2f and I’m happy to forgive his subsequent York fourth as the trio that beat him are currently rated 22lb, 7lb and 6lb higher. The John Butler yard is going strongly and the more rain the better.
