Free horse racing tips for Tuesday, December 16 at Wincanton and Newcastle

Handicappers' nap

Piping Rock (1.30 Wincanton)

Shaped like a certain future winner when chasing home the promising Tiddesley Wood on last month's Windsor hurdling debut and should make a bold bid to get off the mark here.

Eyecatcher

Mister Sky Blue (6.45 Newcastle)

Gemma Tutty’s gelding caught the eye over course and distance last time, keeping on inside the final furlong, having twice been blocked in his run. A clearer path can see him double his tally.

The Punt nap

Redbridge Rambler (1.00 Wincanton)

Now on the same mark as his Chepstow win, this reliable stayer looks well treated and ready to strike.

Speed figures

Balthamos (3.45 Newcastle)

Good speed figure recorded last time out at Lingfield. He’s been unlucky not to get his head in front so far in his career; that should change in this open-looking nursery.

Dark horse

Wee Nan (6.45 Newcastle) 

Well held on handicap debut but had shown some signs of ability in a novice over this C&D. May be capable of getting involved at this low level after a break and wind surgery.
