Saturday's free racing tips: weekend wonders from our expert team
Handicappers' nap
Royal Cosmic (3.52 Musselburgh)
Stepped up on her previous hurdle form when scoring over course and distance last month and could prove well treated on her handicap debut.
Steve Mason
If you rate the ratings, you can have our handicappers' view on every race as part of our Members' Club Essential package
Eyecatcher
Cracking Destiny (2.40 Musselburgh)
Raced freely once in the lead and didn't do a great deal wrong even though he was passed in the home straight. There are races to be won with him off this sort of mark.
Raceform

Irish Angle
Buildmeupbuttercup (3.45 Leopardstown)
Produced a good effort last time when second to stablemate Janidil at Fairyhouse and makes plenty of appeal.
Tony O'Hehir
Ace Tipster
Ambion Hill (4.10 Sandown)
Brought along slowly by Colin Tizzard but showed his best form when third at Chepstow last time and is fancied to build on that.
Graeme Rodway
West Country nap
Wonderful Charm (3.15 Musselburgh)
Has won at the course in the past and goes best fresh so long layoff not a worry.
Andrew King
Newmarket nap
Dogged (5.45 Kempton)
Good winner of a nursery at Newmarket last backend and has been in good form on the Cambridge Road Polytrack of late.
David Milnes
Speed Figures
Dan McGrue (3.00 Sandown)
Much better than he showed last time and could bounce back over this longer trip.
Dave Edwards
Spotlight nap
Miranda (2.05 Musselburgh)
Up 9lb for recent commanding victory but is unexposed and has the potential to take higher rank still for her top yard.
Richard Austen

Dark horse
Bapaume (2.00 Leopardstown)
Improving with each run this season including when winning comfortably last time out at Naas. Former Grade 1-winning hurdler and the booking of jockey R Power is a massive plus.

Must-have stat of the day
