Dave Nevison's Friday tips: my best bet at Epsom and Thirsk

Last Updated: Fri 14 Aug 2026

Top tipster Dave Nevison tipped Ruby Wedding (9-2) on Thursday and shares his best bet for the meetings at both Epsom and Thirsk on Friday, with all the action live on Racing TV.

Enjoy an unmissable summer of live British and Irish racing on Racing TV.

4.00 Epsom: Sir Garfield

Finished: 2ndSP: 6/4

Sir Garfield was badly drawn in a single figure stall at Glorious Goodwood last time, but still ran well to be beaten just two and a half lengths despite hanging close home.

The John and Sean Quinn-trained sprinter has already won twice this season, including over this course and distance.

The horse he battled on to beat narrowly went on to land a crack Ascot handicap and the form looks very strong. He is also 1lb lower than his last run and is possibly still a very well handicapped horse.

6.43 Thirsk: Accrual

Finished: 3rdSP: 10/3

Ruth Carr got this gelding to win on only his second start for the new yard after a season in the doldrums.

Accrual has gone up 4lb for the recent win, but his previous win was off 80 (1lb higher than he races off here) and he ran well off even higher marks last season.

The change of scenery seems to have rekindled him and, if he can draw on his back form, he still has more improvement to come. His draw in stall 7 is favourable and there is every chance he could get the lead.
