Horse racing tips: As the ITV gang make their way to Sandown and Exeter this longshot can win at big odds

SUN Racing is back to give you some insight on big horses at even bigger prices.

Here, we try to find the value bets which could net you a tasty return from a small stake.

LONGSHOT

BALLYMALIN (3.15 Exeter)

Nigel Twiston-Davies is in decent form and this quirky ten-year-old has slipped to 2lb below his last winning mark.

He comes with a warning after running out when going well at Uttoxeter last time but he has plenty of ability too.

He stays well and likes soft ground so could run into the places in this marathon contest.

Each-way Thief

ESPION (3.00 Sandown)

Richard Johnson is as good as they come over hurdles and can steer this six-year-old close in an open race.

He has gone well on his past two visits to Sandown including when third last time. Stepping up to three miles is an interesting move and he’ll be right there if getting home.

VEGAS BLUE (3.35 Sandown)

Nicky Henderson’s five-year-old won a couple of bumpers and has done well since switching to timber.

She was in winning form at Uttoxeter two runs ago before a surprise defeat when sent off 1-4 at Kempton last time. That was surely just a blip and she can make an impact on this handicap debut.

Aside from these, SunSport resident tipster Templegate has picked a horse in each race on Friday.
