Wednesday's free racing tips: best bets of the day from Racing Post experts

Handicappers' nap

Pillar (6.35 Bellewstown)

Won this race last year and slipped back to a workable mark after series of disappointing runs this term. Has had excuses with the draw and pace recently and could bounce back.

Newmarket nap

Tanita (5.55 Kempton)

Ran a close third to a stablemate on her debut over 7f at this track and has moved forward from that effort in her subsequent work.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Fuente (3.50 Catterick)

Was kept to the far side in the home straight last time and had clearly come on for his run at Thirsk nine days earlier. He began the season off a mark of 96 so could be well treated off 82.

Irish Angle

True Motion (6.05 Bellewstown)

Has shown plenty of pace on two starts, more recently when third behind Celtic Beauty at Naas early this month. He should be suited by the easier 5f here.
Tony O'Hehir

Ace Tipster

Mums Hope (6.25 Kempton)

Course winner who was a good second behind the useful Ummalnar at Ascot last month and is fancied to bounce back from a disappointing third at Windsor last time.
Graeme Rodway

Speed Figures

Tanita (5.55 Kempton)

An encouraging third behind a stablemate on her debut over 7f here this month, she can step up on that effort over this extra furlong.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Fuente (3.50 Catterick)

Tumbled down the weights after three poor runs to start the season and showed much more positive signs when second over course and distance. He can build on that and any rain would not be a problem.

Dark horse

Royal Brave (2.40 Musselburgh)

Encouraging run over course and distance earlier this month and not disgraced in the Great St Wilfrid consolation race at Ripon last time out. Should go well now dropped in class.
Rob Sutton

Must-have stat of the day

Michael Bell has form figures of 11112304381112 (+£15.16) with three-year-olds in handicaps at Catterick since the start of 2016. He has Robert Fitzroy in the 2.50 attempting to add to that good record.
