TODAY'S TIPS (WEDNESDAY)

15:12 LINGFIELD

Harry Brown won a couple of class 4 races over track and trip at the beginning of 2023, the latter off a mark of 85, and suggested his time for victory may be close again with a couple of encouraging efforts over the minimum trip here at Lingfield since the turn of the year. He’s maybe not quite the force he once was when trained by David Simcock but going back up in trip off a mark of 61 should see him go close.

Watermelon Sugar is two from two over course and distance and looks the obvious danger, although has gone up 6lbs for victory last time out so may have to settle for a supporting role today.

HARRY BROWN (WIN)

17:00 CATTERICK

Eva’s Oskar will likely prove popular having rolled back the years to win at Bangor last month, however with Derek O’Connor in the saddle Presentandcounting shades the verdict. The jockey won on the eleven-year-old when racing in point-to-points so his return to the saddle here looks significant, plus The Donald McCain trained runner was an emphatic course and distance winner on penultimate run and the return to a track he clearly enjoyed, on his preferred good ground, should make him tough to beat here.

PRESENTANDCOUNTING (WIN)
