Get yourself ready for the Christmas bonanza with the best sign-up offers and promotions from the best online horse racing bookmakers.
Best bets for Sunday's horse racing
- Lingfield 12:30 - Sovereign Knight
- Fakenham 12:43 - Brave Jen
Fakenham 12:43 - Sky Bet Build A Bet Mares' Novices' Handicap Hurdle (2m)
On the back of another solid run, BRAVE JEN looks to be the one to side with here.
She c🐟omes in here afte𓂃r winning a maiden hurdle and finishing second in a 0-105 handicap at Market Rasen.
In her latter race, sꦅhe pulled 23 lengths clear of the third, and she is on the same mark here today.
Jack Andrews takes🦹 a valuable three pounds off her back, and in a race where most of her rivals have a lo🐬t to prove, Brave Jen can bag her second win in three runs back against her own sex.

Lingfield 12:30 - Extra Winnings With BetUK Acca Club Handicap (6f)
Having won with much more in hand than the winning margin would suggest, SOVEREIGN KNIGHT looks set to put up another strong showing uꦗp in class.
His win last time out over course and distance was his third win on the all-weather from nine starts. There is a chance he will be taken on for the lead with Five Winds, but in sprints, it's never a bad thing to be on the front end and nick a few lengths on the home bend.
A three-pound higher mark shouldn't be enough to see him going close today.
