Horse Racing Tips: Katie Midwinter's best bets on Tuesday including 18/1 Wolverhampton nap

Leicester, 15:39 - Back Dashing Dick E/W @ 9/25.50

13 (9)

Dashing Dick (Ire)

• J: Kieran Shoemark
• T: William Stone
• F: 83656452

• SBK 11/2
• EXC 7.4

Course winner Dashing Dick found only one rival too good over 7f here recently, beating a length by Moostar when sent off as the 3/14.00 favourite earlier this month. He's back up in class but drops back in distance to 6f which could suit in these conditions.

Representing an in-form William Stone yard, with two winners from their previous four runners, Dashing Dick could return to the winners' enclosure in familiar surroundings under Kieran Shoemark.

The experienced eight-year-old is bidding for a sixth career success in his 69th appearance, and, if getting into a good rhythm from the front, could put his stamina to good use in the closing stages and put in a bold bid.

Leicester, 16:47 - Back God Of War E/W @ 10/111.00

4 (5)

God Of War

• J: David Egan
• T: Tom Clover
• F: 0-4405744

• SBK 5/1
• EXC 5.8

Tom Clover-trained God Of War is 7lb lower than his last winning mark when successful at Sandown last year. He defied odds of 11/112.00 to win that day under David Egan, and has since put in a couple of creditable efforts from a higher rating or similar.

On a workable mark of 86 currently, the four-year-old gelding should be capable of posing a threat for in-form trainer Tom Clover. He hasn't been disgraced in recent outings and was a good fifth to Supido in a higher class Chester handicap earlier in the season when rated 92.

• Who's Glen @ 15/2

• Sunriseontheboyne @ 11/1

Leicester, 17:17 - Back Little Tiger E/W @ 8/19.00

14 (3)

Little Tiger

• J: Laura Coughlan
• T: William Stone
• F: 38630-462

• SBK 9/1
• EXC 8

Course-and-distance winner Little Tiger makes appeal at the weights from a mark of 54 under 3lb claiming Laura Coughlan. He's 5lb higher than his last win but has run well from a higher mark in the past, including when narrowly denied here from a rating of 58 last season, and has plenty of valuable course experience in his favour.

With form figures of 713332 at this venue, the six-year-old gelding is one to note when lining up at Leicester, and, for an in-form stable, could go one better than when last seen chasing home dominant winner Dinah Myte here last month.

Bet of the day: Wolverhampton, 19:00 - Back Charging Thunder E/W @ 18/119.00

1 (2)

Charging Thunder

• J: Mason Paetel
• T: James Owen
• F: 75027004

• SBK 22/1
• EXC 11

The bet of the day on Tuesday, likeable gelding Charging Thunder could finally return to the winners' enclosure on the level, having been winless in this sphere since a course-and-distance success last year. He's 12lb lower than when successful on that occasion, with Mason Paetel in the saddle once again, claiming 3lb as opposed to 5lb.

Making appeal at the weights in this class, the James Owen-trained contender needs to bounce back from his latest effort at Southwell, in a run that may be worth forgiving, but, if he can return to anywhere near his best, he should be able to show his class. He won over hurdles during the summer, following on from a few decent Flat efforts earlier in the year, proving he still retains ability.

This could be a feasible opportunity for the eight-year-old to strike, and, from a lenient rating, he could be worth keeping the faith in.
