Wednesday's free racing tips: five horses to consider putting in your multiples

Wednesday's best bets ranked in order of confidence by our top tipsters . . .

Handicappers' nap

Snash (5.18 Newcastle)

Took advantage of a much-reduced mark when scoring over course and distance last time, beating a subsequent winner. Still well in on old form so looks capable of following up for trainer Tim Easterby.

The Punt nap

Torchlight (6.20 Newcastle)

Progressive filly who was second to a promising type last time over this trip. Nothing in this race is up to that standard and she can break her maiden for her powerful yard.

Eyecatcher

Lochnaver (3.05 Newcastle)

Got no run and shaped better than his finishing position at Wolverhampton last time. Paul Mulrennan, aboard for two of his three wins, gets back in the saddle today.

Speed figures

Met Office (3.37 Newcastle)

Successful twice in France and showed his true colours after a few below-par runs for John Butler when scoring at huge odds at Wolverhampton last week in an excellent time.

Dark horse

Eddie G (1.50 Dundalk)

Stayed on well over 6f on debut at Naas to finish fourth and made late headway again last time out in a big-field maiden at the Curragh. Should be suited by this step up in trip on his first all-weather start.
