Tuesday's free racing tips: best bets from the Racing Post team

Handicappers' nap
The Composeur (4.45 Catterick)
Much improved for more of a stamina test when successful on handicap debut and can follow up for in-form yard.
Steve Mason

Newmarket nap
Maximum Effect (3.00 Lingfield)
John Gosden had a big winner here at the weekend and is fancied to strike with this daughter of Iffraaj. She is fit from some sterling work on the Al Bahathri.
David Milnes
Eyecatcher
Bythebay (4.30 Lingfield)
Ran a stormer on debut and looked a natural at the course. He looks good enough to go one better.
Raceform
Our analysts from Raceform find eyecatchers at all meetings in the UK and Ireland, every day. Essential subscribers can read their expert view on every race.
Ace Tipster
Loose Chips (4.15 Catterick)
Veteran who loves it bottomless and is still on a winning mark despite small rise for his Plumpton success.
Paul Kealy
Speed Figures
Ask Paddy (4.15 Catterick)
Successful three times already this year and course-and-distance winner may defy the handicapper again.
Dave Edwards
Spotlight nap
Auchterarder (4.00 Lingfield)
Shown her effectiveness from the front on two starts last season. Looks a type with plenty more to offer.
David Bellingham

Dark horse
Alveda (4.30 Lingfield)
Took nice step forward from debut when fourth at Chelmsford, despite still looking green, and likely has a good bit more to offer.
Gavin Beech
Must-have stat of the day
When John Gosden and Oisin Murphy team up, they have had 21 winners from 55 runners with a 38 per cent strike-rate (+£15.52 profit from level stakes). Maximum Effect fits the bill today in the 3.00 at Lingfield.
