Today’s Horse Racing Tip

The current 6/4 favourite CELTIC EMPRESS looks tough to beat in this contest* (betting odds recorded 16:21 GMT on 25th May 2021 at William Hill).

She looks good enough to go up a few levels in class and we can see her having a comfortable time of things on Wednesday.

She was out for her handicap debut just last week and improved to take a good second place finish at Redcar.

Celtic Empress retains the hood from that run and as she stays at the same market, it’s hard to oppose her.

We would have to expect SOLLER BAY to be back in the frame. She was just behind Celtic Empress at Redcar on her latest run and looks to be well in touch with that selection.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is a good strong contest and RAINS OF CASTAMERE arrives in very good form. There have been three wins in his last four runs.

He gets Oisin Murphy in the saddle as well and there should be more to come from him. But this is a very strong contest.

We have a slight preference for WIDAAD at 7/2* (betting odds recorded 16:21 GMT on 25th May 2021 at William Hill).

She opened her account in fine style at Newmarket earlier this month and had a good follow up at Brighton to confirm her form.

That latest effort from Widaad was 8 days ago and she should be right there. Widaad has a 5lb conditional and comes from a yard that is in form.

There is also interest in the fixture for LITTLE JO who returns looking for a double, and MARKAZI who could have a lot to offer a competitive mark.

16:20 Beverley Handicap Today’s Horse Racing Tips & Odds

Casilli 5/2
Mushaba 10/3
Zeimaam 9/2
Bit Of A Quirke 4/1
Le Bayou 8/1
Little Ted 10/1
Jupiter Road 12/1
Violette Szabo 25/1

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

CASILLI was a big winner at Ripon earlier this month. That was her first attempt at this 1m 2f distance and looked very good for it.

She will be looking to complete a hattrick on Wednesday and should be well in the mix. So too is ZEIMAAM who gets the cheek pieces on for the first time.

But our horse racing tip is BIT OF A QUIRKE at 4/1* (betting odds recorded 16:21 GMT on 25th May 2021 at William Hill).

He has a great record at Beverley so cannot be dismissed. Bit Of A Quirke is a course and distance winner and comes from a yard that is bang in form at the moment.

He arrives on the back of a victory as well, delivered at Leicester and that’s been a good positive string of form from him.

Bit Of A Quirke is under a 4lb penalty for Wednesday, but has enough in him to handle that and deliver another win.

16:50 Beverley Handicap Today’s Horse Racing Tips & Odds

King Viktor 1/2
Belvedere Blast 11/2
Prison Break 8/1
Altiste 12/1
Swing Low 12/1

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

The obvious horse racing tip for this handicap action is KING VIKTOR who completed a hat trick last time out.

The last of the wins in that sequence happened at Redcar 9 days ago and he looks like he will take some stopping.

There has been fine progress for King Viktor this season and despite being under a 6lb penalty on Wednesday, looks the way to go.

King Viktor is a 1/2 odds-on favorite* (betting odds recorded 16:21 GMT on 25th May 2021 at William Hill).

We don’t see anyone having enough to topple him. The main contenders for the places look like being BELVEDERE BLAST and PRISON BREAK.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

There should be very strong claims from NO ANXIETY on this 3 mile trip. He picked up a win on his chasing debut 25 days ago.

That was at Uttoxeter and he looked an improved animal just to switch over to the big stuff. So he should feature.

But we have a slight performance for THE COMPOSEUR who comes into this sphere with a lot of interest at 9/2* (betting odds recorded 16:21 GMT on 25th May 2021 at William Hill) .

The former point winner arrives after a hurdles effort 20 days ago, so he is match fit at the moment.

He looks built for chasing and good things could be coming down the line for him. The Composeur could have a big impact on his chase debut.

19:50 Wolverhampton Handicap Today’s Horse Racing Tips & Odds

Royal Pleasure 11/10
Farasi Lane 4/1
Stylish Performer 13/2
Trumble 13/2
Kodiac Brown Bear 17/2
Water Of Leith 16/1

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

The final horse racing tips that we have today is ROYAL PLEASURE at 11/10* (betting odds recorded 16:21 GMT on 25th May 2021 at William Hill).

He scored a win on his debut just in November which was here at Wolverhampton which is a big plus on his side.

That was at distance as well. Royal Pleasure followed that up with a second of 9 in a minor event at course and distance as well.

This will be the handicap debut for Royal Pleasure now after having been away from action for 176 days.

He should feature strongly for the first time as a 3 year old and is on a fair mark to have a bold run.

The principal threats in the contest are FARASI LANE and STYLISH PERFORMANCE, the latter having delivered back to back course and distance wins this season.
