Race Favourite

UMBRDIGADO is the current 11/4 favourite for this chase action at Wetherby* (betting odds recorded 21:47 GMT on February 16th, 2021 at William Hill).

He took a win on his latest run, really cementing some excellent form this season. That win happened at Fontwell a month ago.

That was the second chase effort for Umbrigado and he looks like he has a lot more to bring to the table in handicapping.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

MAYPOLE CLASS is bang in form at the moment having rattled off a double.

That is the kind of thing that can’t be dismissed for horse racing betting. The latest of those wins was in fine fashion at Fakenham in December.

He is coming back up in trip but warrants big respect at 9/2* (betting odds recorded 21:47 GMT on February 16th, 2021 at William Hill).

MARACUDJA is back on his last winning mark and also shows up for the first time following wind surgery.

So those are factors which should put him in the picture.

The 10-year-old is a former course and distance winner too and has put his best foot forward in recent efforts.

Race Favourite

The current 9/4 favourite is DESTINEE ROYALE* (betting odds recorded 21:47 GMT on February 16th, 2021 at William Hill).

There was a fourth-place finish for her on her latest effort at Warwick. That was a tough race and it came after unseating her rider at Sandown on her reappearance.

A factor for Destinee Royale could be the longer trip and she has been shaping as she needed it, so she goes on the shortlist.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

But we are opposing the favourite with LEVEROCK LASS who just looks sharper.

She is well on the up at the moment and collected a victory at course and distance in December.

Leverock Lass was the only one to finish that race. This is a stronger race overall but she stays at the same mark which makes her a threat.

Leverock Lass is our 4/1 selection for horse racing tips* (betting odds recorded 21:47 GMT on February 16th, 2021 at William Hill).

COMMIT OR QUIT could pull something out of his hat in this one.

He was a beaten favourite on his last effort, which saw him take a second place here at Wetherby a month ago.

Commit Or Quit did get a course and distance success in November and will probably have a very solid run in him.

Race Favourite

ANNIE DAY is the 10/3 favourite for his handicap chase at Hereford* (betting odds recorded 21:47 GMT on February 16th, 2021 at William Hill).

She brings solid claims to the table here because there is plenty of scope for improvement in this sphere for her.

Annie Day has looked so much better over the fences than the hurdles and took a second-place finish in a 3m Chepstow Chase a month ago on her latest run. She’ll probably be knocking on the door.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

KIERA ROYALE gets an 8lb rise handed to her after scoring in a 2m 3f handicap chase at Ffos Las a couple of weeks ago.

That saw her get off the mark at the 32nd attempt. But now it’s fascinating to see if she has found her range and form.

We don’t think that she can be ignored.

POTTLEREAGHEXPRESS is another of the key players in this field for us.

She has been churning out some very strong, consistent stuff having placed in each of her three runs this season.

She is still waiting to get off the mark but there has been improving form for her new yard.

Pottlereaghexpress piques interest at 7/1* (betting odds recorded 21:47 GMT on February 16th, 2021 at William Hill).

Declared Runners: 9
Distance: 2m 3 1/2f

Race Favourite

The 7/2 favourite for this hurdle is NIGHTBOATTOCLYRO* (betting odds recorded 21:47 GMT on February 16th, 2021 at William Hill).

He is seeking a hattrick on Wednesday after hitting top form. That’s two wins from two this season and he looked in great nick at Chepstow last month at 2m 3f.

Nithgtboattoclyro is lightly raced and has enough about him to make another bold effort here being on an upward curve.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

ALBERT’S BACK has appeal for the shortlist as well. He is aiming for a three-timer.

There has been a rise of 8lb for him to deal with but he is on the up as well and just thriving at the moment.

The latest win that he took was here at Wetherby after scoring by a wide margin at Haydock.

MIDNIGHT SHADOW just does it for us however at 5/1 as our horse racing betting tip* (betting odds recorded 21:47 GMT on February 16th, 2021 at William Hill).

There was a very solid second from him at the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup a couple of months ago.

The former Grade 2 winner is interesting in switching back to the hurdles.

Race Favourite

AURELIA OR is the 9/4 favourite for this mares’ contest at Hereford* (betting odds recorded 21:47 GMT on February 16th, 2021 at William Hill).

It has been back to back third-place finishes for her over the hurdles. She is improving in this sphere and she was last seen in a Newbury Novice a month ago.

Aurelia Or steps into handicapping for the first time here and she’s at a good mark as well. She has to feature strongly coming up on the trip as well.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

CODED MESSAGE can’t be discounted from a strong effort here.

She is a good hurdler and was third in a 3m mare’s handicap at Kempton over Christmas.

Coded Message then jumped up to Grade 2 for a run at Ascot last month and was found wanting. She should enter calculations.

But our horse racing tip is going to be DAME DU SOIR at 5/1* (betting odds recorded 21:47 GMT on February 16th, 2021 at William Hill).

She has been thriving recently and scored at Chepstow in this sphere in January.

Dame Du Soir followed that up with a third at Newbury and looks primed for another strong effort.

Race Favourite

We’ll round off the day’s horse racing betting with a sprint at Kempton.

PREMIER POWER is the 9/4 favourite for the contest* (betting odds recorded 21:47 GMT on February 16th, 2021 at William Hill).

The former course and distance winner claimed one win for three efforts last year.

He couldn’t stay in his latest race which was a 6f trip at Lingfield in December. Needs to bounce back.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

BRIAN THE SNAIL got himself a score at Southwell on a 5f trip on his last effort.

He almost didn’t make it as he was struggling to hold on against Premier Power by a short head.

He is a former course and distance winner and may relish jumping back up a furlong.

Brian The Snail just has to get the nod at 4/1 in a very competitive fixture* (betting odds recorded 21:47 GMT on February 16th, 2021 at William Hill).

TINTO is worth consideration as well.

He is another former course and distance winner and shaped well at Lingfield 11 days ago to take fifth place after finding himself in a terrible position.

Tinto stuck to the task well and still finished up a close-up fight.
