Horse Racing Tips: Katie Midwinter's best bets on Wednesday at Cork and Kempton

Cork, 17:10 - Back Go Athletico E/W @ 12/113.00

2 (25)

Go Athletico (Fr)

• J: Adam Caffrey
• T: Adrian McGuinness, Ireland
• F: 30026256

• SBK 12/1
• EXC 1.04

From a mark of 77, likeable gelding Go Athletico makes appeal at the weights, now 7lb lower than his previous success when winning at the Curragh last year. He went close at the Galway Festival during the summer when beaten only half-a-length by Eddie G over 7f, and put in a competitive effort when fifth to Mint Man in his subsequent run at the Curragh.

On a workable rating, the experienced eight-year-old could be worth keeping onside under Adam Caffrey as he bids for a tenth career victory. He's a versatile performer and can pose a threat in this field with a favourable trip.

Cork, 17:10 - Back Tornado Kiss E/W @ 25/126.00

8 (7)

Tornado Kiss (Ire)

• J: Andrew Joseph Slattery
• T: A. Slattery, Ireland
• F: 2215-469

• SBK 25/1
• EXC 1.04

From a mark of 77, Tornado Kiss is one to note for Andrew Slattery in the 6f Cork handicap, with proven form at the course. She's unexposed in handicaps having made only two appearances in this sphere, and is capable of better in only her eighth career start.

The daughter of Acclamation has finished fifth and fourth in respective Listed contests previously and should make her presence felt from her current rating if on a going day.

Stepping back up in trip, the three-year-old filly may be worth keeping onside and warrants consideration as she bids for a second career win.

Notable winners from Katie in recent weeks

• Brian @ 11/2

• Giant @ 20/1
• Abundant @ 6/1
• Mia Fantasia @ 5/1
• Balon d'Or @ 5/1

Kempton, 19:30 - Back Seeing Stars E/W @ 20/121.00

12 (8)

Seeing Stars

• J: Luke Morris
• T: William Knight
• F: 21343848

• SBK 20/1
• EXC 1.05

Course-and-distance winner Seeing Stars performed consistently well in her first seven starts recording form figures of 2221343. Recently, however, she has been well-beaten twice, either side of a creditable Nottingham run when beaten only a length by Melissa Honey.

Whilst a couple of her recent efforts have been below par, she is on a workable mark from a rating of 66 if on a going day. The return to familiar surroundings could spark improvement too, back at the scene of her sole win to date, and it's too early to give up on a filly who has shown ability from a higher mark.

Kempton, 20:30 - Back Art Lover @ 3/14.00

1 (4)

Art Lover (Ire)

• J: Tom Marquand
• T: William Haggas
• F: 92187-24

• SBK 2/1
• EXC 1.05

William Haggas-trained Art Lover is the bet of the day in Kempton's finale on Wednesday, representing an in-form yard in the hands of Tom Marquand. He's dropping in class following a creditable fourth in an 18-runner Thirsk handicap, and is on the same mark as when beaten only a length at Chester in his penultimate start following a 276-day break.

A winner of a Ffos Las maiden last year, the son of Hello Youmzain could have more to give in the handicap sphere and may be capable of showing further progression in only his eighth career start. He has shown ability and has run well in two outings so far this term, possibly still on an upward trajectory making him one to note.
