Horse racing tips: As fans return this longshot can cause a stir at Wincanton on Thursday
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
WHAT A MOMENT (2.15 Wincanton)
David Pipe continues to have plenty of winners and this ten-year-old had no luck at Cheltenham last time.
He lost two shoes during the race, which is hardly ideal, before plugging on for sixth place.
The handicapper has him 17lb lower than his last winning mark and Tom Scudamore gets back on board today.

Each way thief
NEFF (2.45 Wincanton)
Gary Moore’s five-year-old looked rusty on comeback at Newbury last month before a much improved display at Fontwell last time.
He was a decent third there and still looked as though that outing would bring him on again.
This trip suits and a 5lb drop down the weights does no harm.
GET AN OSCAR (2.52 Market Rasen)
The Bowens have been knocking on the door with this six-year-old who has finished second on her past two outings.
Her last win came over this course and distance and she is 3lb lower in the weights today.
She stays well and handles any ground so is capable of another good run.
Aside from these, SunSport resident tipster Templegate has picked a horse in each race on Thursday.
