Wednesday's free racing tips: our experts give their best bets of the day

Irish Angle

Column Of Fire (1.30 Punchestown)

The Gordon Elliott-trained six-year-old has strong credentials for this maiden hurdle having fallen when holding every chance at Fairyhouse last time. He was previously placed behind Blue Sari.
Tony O'Hehir

Ace Tipster

Indy Five (3.25 Newbury)

Still not out of it when falling at the last in an even stronger race here last time. Enigmatic, but clearly well in off 122.
Keith Melrose

Newmarket nap

Global Esteem (5.20 Southwell)

The son of Kodiac was in need of the run at Wolverhampton last time after three months off and is expected to strike at the third time of asking.
David Milnes

Speed Figures

Getaway Totherock (12.45 Newbury)

Sprang a surprise at Ludlow last month but the clock confirmed it was no fluke and she can follow up.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Princess Harley (7.20 Southwell)

Reliable at this track, and won by a head last time out over 1m4f. Sometimes races freely but has been a close second over 1m6f on turf, and has a big chance.
Richard Austen

Dark horse

Bahuta Acha (2.30 Wolverhampton)

Course-and-distance winner who was slowly away last time when sent off 6-4 favourite, and could strike having been dropped 2lb.
