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

Handicappers' nap

Contrast (5.05 Lingfield)

Off the mark for Mick Easterby at Yarmouth last time. Career suggests he is better on the all-weather and if anywhere near any of his previous Lingfield form he should go close.

Newmarket nap

Madkhal (7.30 Chelmsford)

Saeed bin Suroor's three-year-old had winning form on the all-weather last year and is fit from some sterling work on the watered gallop.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Broughtons Flare (8.00 Chelmsford)

Shaped okay widest of all in the home straight last time following a 62-day break, and can improve for the outing.

Ace Tipster

John Clare (4.10 Beverley)

Below par when last seen, but that was when dropped to 6f and he had been shaping as if a step up in trip would do. Interesting on seasonal debut when second over 7f and if freshness is the key he can go well at a price.
Paul Kealy

Speed Figures

Rebel Soldier Boy (2.00 Beverley)

Finished an encouraging second over this distance on his debut a week ago and has a fine chance to go one better.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Lady Red Moon (6.00 Chelmsford)

Won both starts since moving into handicaps, including a late success in Class 2 at Newmarket last month. He is 5lb higher now but stepping up to a mile could bring about further progress.
Paul Smith

Dark horse

Theclockisticking (3.50 Warwick)

Performed well in big handicap hurdles at Cheltenham and Aintree last season. Returns after nearly three months off over fences and and cheekpieces could have a positive effect if the trip doesn't prove too far.
Rob Sutton

Must-have stat of the day

Roger Varian is 9-22 (41 per cent, +£13.56 to £1 stakes) in non-handicaps at Beverley. The last three he's sent there who fit that criteria have won, and Zegalo can keep the sequence going at 2.30.
