Nap of the day: the best horse racing tips for the the day's three meetings
Wednesday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team
Kempton
7.30: Beccali
Hippocratic Oath has form figures of 1121 in handicaps and he's respected along with last month's C&D novice winner Molveno, who still has plenty of potential after only three starts. However, the vote goes to Godolphin's Beccali, who took another major step forward with his win at Wolverhampton and is open to more progress on this step up to 1m.
David Moon
Newcastle
1.03: Dandy Magic
Assuming she copes with the drop back to 5f, Dandy Magic holds particularly strong claims. She took well to this surface last time, beating a subsequent dual scorer, and looks open to further improvement on AW. Solid-looking Oakley Boy is second choice, ahead of interesting handicap debutant Star Chorus.
Steve Boow
Taunton
3.15: Sawpit Sienna
Most have to be considered each-way but Sawpit Sienna is handicapped to win this race for the third year in a row. She is much the oldest contender but would have won it with significantly more authority last year had she not fluffed the last two flights, when well clear, and she has a 1lb lower mark today. She is probably about to peak again. It looks tight among the rest but with Ironed Out preferred following the marked upturn on her handicap debut.
