Wednesday's free racing tips: punting gems from our top team

Handicappers' nap

Faivoir (12.20 Ludlow)

Bettered his decent bumper RPR behind the useful Mister Coffey in a Sandown handicap last time and will be hard to beat back in novice company.

Ace tipster

Degree (1.35 Lingfield)

Beautifully bred newcomer represents powerful trainer/jockey combination of Sir Michael Stoute and Ryan Moore and she can make a winning start, with Stoute four from 12 with juveniles at the course in last five seasons.
David Baxter

Newmarket nap

I Am The Secret (12.30 Lingfield)

Had no luck in running over 6f at Newcastle last time and should enjoy this extra furlong. Jane Chapple-Hyam's grey has since worked well on the Al Bahathri.
David Milnes

Speed figures

Dublin Four (1.10 Newbury)

Highly promising runner-up on his chasing/handicap bow at Doncaster recently and from the foot of the weights may go one better over this longer trip.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

St Barts (1.10 Newbury)

Point winner whose four hurdle starts yielded two wins (2m4f/2m7f, heavy), and he was a promising second on last month's chase/seasonal debut at Exeter (3m, good to soft); lightly raced and has likeable claims up 3lb.

Dark horse

Republican(1.10 Newbury)

Beaten favourite when last seen but was attempting to give 24lb to a well-backed rival on testing ground and ran well in the circumstances. Oliver Sherwood's yard has struck form and his gelding should appreciate the longer trip.
