Jump racing holds sway on a busy Thursday across the UK and Ireland with four afternoon meetings sandwiched by two all-weather Flat fixtures.
Southwell (2.05-4.45pm), Naas (2.10-5.23), Warwick (2.55-5.40) and Clonmel (4.03-7.18) serve up 26 National Hunt races between them, with Lingfield Park (1.50-5.00) and Wolverhampton (4.55-8.30) opening and closing the day’s proceedings.
Among our Thursday fancies is a chaser who can help Harry Cobden move a step closer to his first jump jockeys’ championship at Southwell.

Horse racing tips: Lingfield 3.50
Eight go to post in this competitive-looking Class 4 handicap over the minimum trip and progressive sprinter MOULIN BOOJ can follow up last month’s victory at Southwell.
The four-year-old won with a bit in hand that day and has gone up 7lb in the handicap but he looks to have improved considerably from last season and a mark of 80 does not look unreasonable.
A few of his rivals run for the first time this season and may need an outing or two before they are at their sharpest. Moulin Booj, however, is clearly at peak fitness and that can give him the edge here.
Selection: Moulin Booj @ SP with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Southwell 2.05
Harry Cobden currently leads the jumps jockeys’ championship but victory is not yet certain and, with Sean Bowen not too far behind, he will need all the winners he can get.
Cobden has three rides at Southwell and his best chance of a winner lies with GALWAY MAHLER, who completed a hat-trick last month at Huntingdon (2m 7½f, soft). The seven-year-old has improved over fences this season and has gone up 21lb since his first chase victory in January.
Galway Mahler only has four rivals to beat on Thursday and none of them stands out. Connections will be hopeful of another win and having Cobden on board will boost his chances.
Selection: Galway Mahler @ SP with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Wolverhampton 6.00
Aces Wild and Stroxx both come into this 5f sprint on the back of wins, with the latter returning to handicaps after a close victory in a classified stakes race at Chelmsford.
Aces Wild has gone up 4lb for his handicap win at Wolverhampton and will be prominent in the market, but his form is not bulletproof and he is worth taking on.
SPANISH ANGEL is one that catches the eye as he could potentially be well handicapped and ready to get back to winning ways. He has had two decent runs this season, both at Wolverhampton, where he was denied a clear run the first time and was a little awkward out of the stalls on his second run.
Having dropped down the handicap he is now rated lower than both of his course-and-distance wins, which came last year.
Selection: Spanish Angel @ SP with BetMGM
