There are four meetings scheduled on Wednesday, two all-weather Flat cards bookending a pair of National Hunt meetings.
Dundalk (1.30-5.10pm) and Kempton (5.00-8.30) each serve up eight races on the Polytrack, and in between there are six jump races at Exeter (1.40-4.45) and seven at Leicester (1.50-4.25).
Our nap will be hoping to build on a decent recent debut in a 1m 2½f maiden at Dundalk, while our next best won last time out and is bidding to follow up at Kempton.

Horse racing tips: Dundalk 2.35
This maiden over an extended 10 furlongs features a couple of well-bred newcomers in Thurmond and Cow Chico. But it’s a concern that the former has already been gelded prior to running, and of note that jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle sides with Cow Chico’s stablemate Neski Sherelski.
One who looks sure to go well is CURRUMBIN, who has the benefit of racecourse experience on his side. He was sent off a 20-1 shot for his course debut over a mile and there was plenty to like about that effort as he stuck to his task well, despite looking green at times in the closing stages.
With that outing under his belt, he looks sure to progress and the dam’s side of his pedigree is full of stamina, suggesting this step up in trip will probably suit.
The remainder of his rivals have either achieved very little on the track or have pedigrees that suggest they may find this assignment tough. Currumbin could take all the beating.
Selection: Currumbin @ SP with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Kempton 7.00
It was a huge effort from ANDALEEP last week when he got his first win in 21 outings on an artificial surface and there’s every chance he can go in again if he arrives in the same form.
His all-weather record was much better than his strike-rate suggested and he was all over his rivals at Southwell last week, when he won going away by two lengths.
The handicapper hasn’t had the chance to reassess him yet, so he’s well in under a 4lb penalty here and the return to Kempton is no issue as he has run several big races in defeat at the track. He won’t mind the extra furlong either and with the yard in decent form of late, his chance is hard to knock.
Selection: Andaleep @ SP with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Dundalk 2.00
There are a few in with a chance in the first handicap of the afternoon, including a couple of recent course winners, however, there are reasons to think that PICPOUL can outrun his odds.
Last month, the son of Gale Force Ten was behind one of those who won last time out, Garrick Painter, when beaten roughly two lengths over today’s course and distance (1m 2½f).
Picpoul is now 5lb better off for that defeat and his rival may not get such an easy time of things at the front. He was allowed to dictate his own fractions in that race, while Picpoul encountered plenty of trouble. His effort is worth upgrading and jockey Robert Whearty is good value for his 5lb claim.
All three of Picpoul’s wins have come at Dundalk and he has been as good as ever in his last two outings. A repeat of either of those efforts could be good enough.
Selection: Picpoul @ SP with BetMGM
