Horse Racing Tips: Katie Midwinter's best bets on Tuesday including 25/1 Lingfield fancy

Bet of the day: Lingfield, 14:30 - Back Majestic Wave E/W @ 25/126.00

9 (8)

Majestic Wave

• J: Mason Paetel
• T: Simon Dow
• F: 0609-9728

• SBK 25/1
• EXC 12

In Lingfield's opening mile apprentice handicap, Majestic Wave makes appeal at the bottom of the weights from a mark of 61 under Mason Paetel. The four-year-old gelding is on a workable rating on the best of his form, having been rated as high as 89 during his career.

His sole win came in a Navan maiden in his final start for former trainer John O'Donoghue, but he has put in a number of creditable efforts in handicap company since, and was only beaten half-a-length by now 107-rated Diego Ventura during his debut campaign previously, when a dead-heat second with subsequent Breeders' Cup winner Magnum Force at Naas.

It may be worth keeping the faith in this son of Sergei Prokofiev, who, although he's yet to strike for his current trainer Simon Dow, he has shaped with promise on occasion and could go well in this contest. 

Bellewstown, 17:30 - Back Land Of The Giants @ 9/25.50

6 (4)

Land Of The Giants (Ire)

• J: Adam Caffrey
• T: Adrian McGuinness, Ireland
• F: 10373604

• SBK 9/2
• EXC 1.13

Calyx gelding Land Of The Giants makes each-way appeal from a mark of 57 back in handicap company for Ado McGuinness and Adam Caffrey, 6lb lower than when recording his sole career win at Ayr earlier this season. He has since run well in claimers but had previously gone close at Cork in a handicap when rated 2lb higher, and could make his presence felt in this field.

The four-year-old should be seen staying on well late in the closing stages over this mile trip, and could give a good account of himself at the weights. He's one to note on the card at Bellewstown, warranting consideration.

Bellewstown, 18:02 - Back Exquisite Acclaim E/W @ 20/121.00

2 (13)

Exquisite Acclaim (Ire)

• J: S. Coen
• T: Adrian McGuinness, Ireland
• F: 04073604

• SBK 20/1
• EXC 1.11

Exquisite Acclaim is 4lb lower than his last winning mark, when successful at Dundalk in January, and has 5lb claimer Sam Coen in the plate as he bids for a tenth career success in this mile handicap.

The likeable performer hasn't been seen to best effect lately, but did put in a bold bid when third at odds of 16/117.00 to Glory To Be in a Fairyhouse handicap earlier this summer, and could make the frame in this contest under an in-form rider.

The one-time winner on the Turf is most effective on an all-weather surface, but has proven on multiple occasions that he can perform in this sphere too. He holds solid claims from his current rating if he can improve on his latest efforts, and should be capable of putting in a threatening performance if on a going day.
