Top free racing tips for Friday's action

NIGIRI (5.00, nap) looks a tasty morsel for punters at Haydock on Friday.

Her trainer Ralph Beckett is operating at a near 25% strike rate in the past fortnight and is banging in the winners.

This lightly raced filly – named after a type of sushi – cost a cool 300,000 guineas as a yearling and is yet to pay her way.

But she can start today in the Old Boston Fillies’ Handicap that concludes the card at the Merseyside track.

Nigiri flew home on her latest start to be third at Chelmsford and took a while to pull up.

Her pedigree (by Lope De Vega) suggests she will relish the soft ground and an opening handicap mark of 68 looks more than fair.

The half sister to several winners, including Gisburn, is 7-4 (bet365) at the time of writing.

Hamilton stages an excellent card this evening and KHUNAN (7.05, nb) stands out in the Scottish Stewards’ Cup

Rated 107 as a two year old, he bounced back to form under a falling handicap mark to be second at Haydock and was miles clear of the third.

Jason Heavey is the Chief Tipster on the Daily Star and the reigning Racing Post Naps Table champion.
