Meetings across the UK and Ireland at Fontwell, Kempton, Newmarket, Southwell and Navan combine to fill out Wednesday’s race card, giving punters ample opportunity to seek out some more profit. As per the usual routine, you can find our latest horse racing betting tips for the day’s action below.
Best Tip #1: Anniversary – Newmarket, 15:30
The Ralph Beckett-trained colt, Anniversary, has looked the part in both starts since the summer, winning over 1m in a Class 4 Maiden in August and following that up with another strong showing at Epsom (2nd) a couple of grades up.
He moves up in trip again today, though the extra distance shouldn’t cause any issue and this talented 2-year-old gets the nod to maintain up upward trajectory.
Charlie Appleby’s Watching Stars could also have what it takes to mount a bold bid, meanwhile.
The youngster showed potential with successive fourth-place finishes at Newmarket and September before scoring at Thirsk last month, and though he will need to show improvement in today’s tougher race, he is still worth a market check on online horse racing betting sites.

Best Tip #2: Instant Gambler – Fontwell, 16:15
Instant Gambler has gone up a few gears since switching to fences in September and the 8-year-old came up trumps in back-to-back Chase Handicap races at Fontwell in September before completing his hattrick in a similar event at Hexham 19 days ago.
Alexandra Dunn’s in-form jumper has been nudged up 7lb since that triumph, however, that might not be enough to weigh this improver down.
Caeruleum has yet to score over fences, however, he hit the post when losing out by just a neck at Bangor last time out over a distance of 3m and could be involved as an each-way option again at Fontwell.
The 6-year-old competes off an attractive mark here and could make hay against a largely uninspiring field today.

Best Roughie: Lenebane – Southwell, 17:33
Lenebane has zero wins from 17 outings, however, she has placed five times over hurdles and trips of 2m 4f previously and can have a say at Southwell today despite being lumbered with a big price on sports betting apps.
She finished second in successive efforts at Market Rasen in the summer and if that kind of performance can be reimagined, she could be in the frame again here.
Elsewhere, Fashionelle is a consistent sort who has been a top three finisher in four of her last five races.
Fergal O’Brien’s contender was a winner at Worcester of a similar trip to today’s in mid-September and was far from disgraced when finished second at Warwick last time out. The 5-year-old looks to have decent credentials in a similar race at Southwell today.

Stats and Insights
- Considered the home of flat racing in the UK, Newmarket provides a wide track which gives horses plenty of room to manoeuvre, though the famous dip a few furlongs from the winning post can catch runners out. Charlie Appleby has been the most dominant trainer by some distance over the last five seasons here.
- Fontwell tends to suit more agile horses due to the unique setting the track provides, so you should bear that in mind when perusing selections. With 61 wins over the last five seasons, Gary Moore has been the most successful trainer at Fontwell in recent years.
- Southwell is another left-handed oval track, though the Fibresand surface means horses require plenty of stamina to perform. Michael Appleby has held dominion over the All-Weather course at Southwell over the last five seasons.
