Our team of experts pick out their best bet for Wednesday's racing
Handicappers' nap
Hors De Combat (3.50 Salisbury)
Shaped with promise at Newbury in May and can easily be excused his latest run at Epsom where prominent runners were favoured. Now 8lb lower than when sixth in the Hunt Cup at this time last year and looks set to go well under Oisin Murphy.

Newmarket Nap
Local History (7.20 Kempton)
James Tate's filly is well drawn on her handicap debut and can follow up her Yarmouth win of last month.
David Milnes
Eyecatcher
Game Line (2.10 Ffos Las)
Travelled nicely only to get the final ditch wrong at Stratford. However, that was a promising chasing debut and this stable should win races with him.

Ace Tipster
Running Cloud (4.50 Salisbury)
Improved since returning to the Flat for this yard and maybe did not quite get home when fifth over 2m at the Dante meeting. Return to 1m6f could be his sweet spot.
Keith Melrose
Speed Figures
Caustic Love (5.00 Carlisle)
Had plenty in hand when successful over six furlongs here last week and this improving, lightly raced filly can shrug off her penalty over a furlong further.
Dave Edwards
Spotlight nap
Where's Jeff (4.00 Carlisle)
Fairly useful form upped to 1m2f/1m4f the last twice, winning at Beverley and then finishing a close third in the Queen Mother's Cup at York. He's still unexposed over middle distances and warrants major respect.

Dark horse
Fu Fu (3.40 Ffos Las)
Showed improvement from her bumper runs when a staying-on second on hurdling debut at Fontwell, and could be a decent price to confirm that promise this time around.
Dave Revers
Irish Angle
Insane Bolt (8.30 Naas)
Placed on his two starts since scoring over a mile at Gowran Park last month, the Johnny Murtagh-trained son of Slade Power gets the vote to land this 1m2f handicap under 5lb claimer Ben Coen.
Tony O'Hehir
Must-have stat of the day
Since 2014 Roger Charlton is an impressive 8-13 (62% +£8.61) in maidens at Bath. He has the impeccably-bred Imperium in the 8.10.
