Wednesday’s race card features a mix of UK and Irish meetings at Hereford, Market Rasen, Wetherby and Dundalk, giving us a real shot at getting over the midweek hump with some profit.
Yesterday, we landed yet another winner thanks to Lunar Contact’s success at Southwell, while another of our three free tips, Rochestown, placed at Tramore. View our latest horse racing betting tips below.
Best Tip #1: Harrys Hope – Hereford, 14:00
Harrys Hope has delivered three wins from three races over fences for Ben Pauling’s stable since switching to that discipline last month and the progressive 6-year-old is taken to maintain his hot streak at Hereford.
Harrys Hope is moving up in grade and slightly up in distance today, though he has the talent to cope and should be firmly in the mix again.
Ultra Beat is comfortable in Class 4 company and also deserves to be shortlisted on the best horse racing betting sites.
The unexposed sort returned to action after a five-month hiatus to finish second at Bangor on his chasing debut and could be capable of producing similar here over the same trip.

Best Tip #2: Chemical Warfare – Wetherby, 14:45
Chemical Warfare heads to Weatherby in search of a fourth win on the bounce for trainer David Pipe and the 7-year-old is backed to carry his top form through another Handicap Chase test.
Chemical Warfare was upped 7lb before his latest outing at Newcastle, but still won comfortably, suggesting he has even more to offer at his current weight.
Elsewhere, Whosmydaddy could be another name to consider ahead of today’s penultimate race at Wetherby.
The consistent charge won back-to-back races at Musselburgh and Ayr before sliding back to 5th at Hexham in May. He hasn’t been seen since, but should be a threat on his return to soft ground today.

Best Roughie: Rampage – Dundalk, 14:18
Rampage let his connections down when finishing 14th at Dundalk on the first of November, however, we can dismiss that poor showing on this occasion.
The 5-year-old won ahead of 12 others when competing at Dundalk in September before that and followed that up with another impressive burst to second at Bellewstown shortly after. Based on those two efforts, Rampage looks overpriced on betting apps and could be worth an each-way punt.
Skontonovski is another name to factor into your calculations. The 7-year-old was a winner at Dundalk as recently as October 30th and that was his second victory that month following an earlier triumph over 1m at Thurles.
He has been inched up 4lb by the handicappers today, but should have what it takes to be in the frame once more.
