Today’s horse racing tips are pulled from Sandown, Southwell, Catterick and Lingfield on a busier day than Tuesday.

With most cards scrapped on Tuesday because of extreme heat, things are set to get back to normal on Wednesday.

With that in mind, we have six of the best horse racing tips from the flat for Wednesday, 20th July 2022.

All times listed are GMT.

20:08 Sandown Handicap Horse Racing Tip

Race Type: Class 3
Age: 3-year-olds only
Declared Runners: 5
Distance: 1m 2f

Race Preview

FRANTANCK has shown plenty of promise in the early stages of his career so far.

The son of Frankel picked up a win on his first go as a 3-year-old, landing a Goodwood maiden at a shorter 1m trip.

He then took his form further forward with a place at Newmarket under penalty.

For this first go at handicapping, Frantanck has some claims on Wednesday.

COSMIC DESERT needs to come on a bit as he is still looking to break his maiden.

But he could have a chance of that in midweek.

The extra trip on offer is likely to suit him. There has been useful form by Cosmic Desert in defeat and gets the help of William Buick.

DAL MALLART has the pick of the form here after winning two of her last three.

The latest of those was at Haydock three weeks ago.

But this is made so much tougher by being handed 9lb, which means that she moves up in grade.

Dal Mallart has been wonderfully progressive and not to be totally written out.

Tip: FRANTANCK 6/4

Ones to watch: Dal Mallart 5/2, Cosmic Desert 7/2

16:05 Southwell Handicap Horse Racing Tip

Race Type: Class 3
Age: 3-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 21
Distance: 6f

Race Preview

TWILIGHT MADNESS has landed a place finish in each of his last three efforts and in all but one of his last five.

He keeps running with credit but the winless streak is building. Still, Twilight Madness gets a 3lb claimer for midweek and he should put together another solid run.

THEOTHERSIDE has rattled the crossbar the last twice and she looks like she is full of running at the moment.

With the latest of her runners-up finishers coming here (162 days), that gives her some decent claims. Theotherside probably won’t be far away.

RUSSCO could be another of the key players to consider for horse racing tips on Wednesday.

He has a fairly strong record on the flat and looked good with a fourth place finish three weeks ago at Haydock, Connections turn to the cheek pieces for that little bit more.

BADRI isn’t totally out of the running in this one if he can find any kind of backup to his latest performance.

He was a runner-up at Wolverhampton at this distance 9 days ago. He did get a slight rub of the green in it, but still warrants a look.

Tip: RUSSCO 6/1

Ones to watch: Twilight Madness 7/2, Theotherside 9/1

19:38 Sandown Handicap Horse Racing Tip

Race Type: Class 4
Age: 3-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 6
Distance: 1m

Race Preview

COLOUR IMAGE enters the frame as he comes up 3lb for having landed a score at Bath three weeks ago.

That was his first score in handicap company and he looked good for it.

There was a fantastic attitude shown as Colour Imagine had to battle.

He could still be on a pretty competitive mark so warrants a place on the shortlist for horse racing tips.

ROGUE ROCKET scored at Salisbury recently, with an absolute cracking run on his handicap debut.

This is tougher and he also gets a 7lb rise. But given the way that he flew around Salisbury, he’s still rated as a sizable danger.

LOVE DRESS is probably going to have a decent crack at this as he slides down 1lb and also is reverted to the 1m trip.

There was a score for Love Dreams earlier this season at this distance when he got his nose in front at Windsor.

Love Dreams has been ticking along in reasonable form.

Tip: ROGUE ROCKET 9/4

Ones to watch: Colour Image 2/1, Love Dreams 14/1

15:40 Catterick Handicap Horse Racing Tip

Race Type: Class 4
Age: 3-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 4
Distance: 5f

Race Preview

VADAMIAH should be right in the frame in this small field as she delivered some fine form earlier this season.

Vadamiah opened the campaign with the back-to-back course and distance wins.

That immediately puts her on the shortlist for racing tips.

She has struggled to find the same kind of level the last two times. But her Vadamiah’s yard won this last year and she has a chance.

ATIYAH has won two of her last four runs and was tactically caught out on her latest run when she appeared at Haydock a month ago.

The recent victories for Atiyah came at Chelmsford and Thirsk, both of which were at this 5f distance. She warrants plenty of respect.

LUCKY SHAKE receives weight from everyone else in this field by some distance, but she has been showing some good form.

There was a runner-up finish by her 9 days ago in an Ayr handicap and can make her presence felt with any kind of further progress.

Tip: ATIYAH 2/1

Ones to watch: Vadamiah 2/1, Lucky Shake 11/4

14:45 Lingfield Handicap Horse Racing Tip

Race Type: Class 4
Age: 3-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 11
Distance: 1m

Race Preview

ROYAL AVIATION has been in terrific form this season, claiming a couple of wins from six efforts.

The latest of those wins was recorded at Windsor back in May. Royal Aviation was still in fine nick last time out.

She claimed a third-place finish in a Kempton handicap last month. She should remain competitive and she’s going well for her yard.

TACK is likely to be one of the front runners in this field as he steps into handicapping for the first time.

He is a three-race maiden but has shown some good promise within those efforts. He was fifth at Newcastle in a minor effort last month.

MELODY CHER has shown plenty of promise as well in her three novice efforts so far.

The latest of those saw her take a runners-up finish in a Haydock minor event 55 days ago.

Melody Cher steps into handicapping for the first time with big claims.

This handicap at Lingfield looks to be nice and wide-open. There are further claims from the likes of TANGO TONIGHT and KAATIBB.

Tip: ROYAL AVIATION 4/1

Ones to watch: Tack 3/1, Melody Cher 7/2

15:20 Lingfield Fillies’ Handicap Horse Racing Tip

Race Type: Class 4
Age: 3-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 8
Distance: 6f

Race Preview

ISCHIA was hugely impressive when making her reappearance run last month, taking a runner’s-up spot at Windsor.

She wore the hood for the first time on that occasion which is retained.

Ischia warrants plenty of respect in horse racing tips now coming into handicapping.

OURLOUISE is another that warrants plenty of respect here as she was only narrowly touched off at course and distance a week ago.

She stays at the same mark as that, so is likely going to make her presence firmly felt on Wednesday.

MUMCAT can’t be ignored either if she can find a bit of a revival from a below-par effort at Brighton.

That was a rare off-day for Mumcat, who won at Wolverhampton back in March. She’s a good competitive 3-year-old who can enter calculations.

Tip: OUR LOUISE 5/1

Ones to watch: Ischia 6/4, Muscat 6/1
