The Punt Acca: Robbie Wilders' three horse racing tips on Wednesday

Climate (3.30 Salisbury)

Debuting for the John and Thady Gosden yard, Climate should be tough to beat in the Upavon Stakes. This is a weak Listed race and her chief market rival, Rose Of Kildare, missed a golden opportunity at Newmarket recently. Climate didn't seem to see out 1m4f at Haydock last time but her earlier Group 2 Dahlia Stakes close fourth to subsequent Group 1 scorer Dreamloper is high-class form. This is only her third run of the season over a more suitable distance and she could be revitalised by these new surroundings.

Contarelli Chapel(5.20 Gowran Park)

Contarelli Chapel will be a big price in the Listed Hurry Harriet Stakes given she has three successive zeroes next to her name and she has clearly failed to hit the heights of her debut success at Naas last April. However, I saw more from her at Galway in the Listed Corrib Fillies’ Stakes where she was only beaten three and three-quarter lengths by track specialist Surrounding. She made some late inroads that day after being last for most of the race. O’Brien has a knack of bringing out-of-form fillies to life later in the season and this step up to 1m½f could really suit this half-sister to Fancy Blue.

Clounmacon (5.55 Gowran Park)

Victoria Road is rated 101 and if running to that level will be impossible to beat in this maiden. However, that official rating looks far too high on what he has achieved and he must concede 11lb to a useful prospect of Johnny Murtagh's in Clounmacon. The daughter of Kodi Bear made a promising debut at the Curragh last month, sent off a 33-1 shot, and looked unlucky not to get the job done when beaten a nose into second. She will surely improve for the run and can repel the likely favourite.
