Wednesday's free racing tips: expert selections from the Racing Post team
Handicappers' nap
Calivigny (1.05 Ayr)
Well-handicapped veteran who goes well at the course and is entitled to strip fitter following his recent reappearance. Visor back on which can boost his chances.
Steve Mason

Eyecatcher
Western Climate (2.00 Exeter)
Well backed on his stable debut for Henry Oliver and showed improved form. He would have been placed but fell at the last fence.

Ace tipster
Classic Ben (1.50 Bangor)
Kept in good company last season as a novice and returns still fairly unexposed. His yard is in sound form too.
Keith Melrose
Speed figures
Esprit Du Large (3.05 Exeter)
Made an encouraging chasing debut when second at Carlisle last month and may go one better over this longer trip.
Dave Edwards
Spotlight nap
Bafana Blue (3.20 Ayr)
Readily saw off a previous winner at Carlisle recently and a 7lb penalty does not look enough to stop him if he is in the same mood.
Andrew Sheret

Dark horse
John Constable (3.40 Exeter)
