Horse Racing Tips: Katie Midwinter's best bets on Wednesday including 20/1 Lingfield fancy

Constitution Hill returns to action for his second Flat appearance at Kempton (7.30pm) on Wednesday evening. Ryan Moore takes the ride this time around as Oisin Murphy, who partnered him to a dominant victory at Southwell last month, is suspended.

Crowds are sure to flock to the Sunbury-on-Thames venue to catch a glimpse of Nicky Henderson's superstar as he bids to record successive wins before likely going on to bigger assignments in future. He should put in another impressive performance and he certainly adds intrigue and excitement to the card.

Lingfield, 14:52 - Back I'd Go Maniac E/W @ 9/110.00

Rossa Ryan has a decent recent record aboard Alan King's horses and partners I'd Go Maniac in this mile-and-a-half handicap.

The seven-year-old gelding is seeking a third career success and could be capable of putting in a bold bid if able to bounce back to form following a below par effort at Kempton. His latest run could be worth forgiving considering he had been able to be competitive for the minor honours prior to that following success at Wolverhampton from a mark of 72.

Back on his last winning mark here, I'd Go Maniac may be able to return to form following a short break. He remains unexposed in handicap company on the Flat, therefore could be capable of further improvement in only his fifth all-weather start from a workable rating.

Lingfield, 16:22 - Back Onlyriversrunfree E/W @ 20/121.00

Equipped with first-time cheekpieces, Onlyriversrunfree is an interesting contender in this mile-and-a-half contest. She makes her seventh start, bidding to shed her maiden tag in her third successive visit to Lingfield.

This is a further step up in trip for the mare, and that, with the addition of headgear, could allow her to be more competitive. Although unable to land a serious blow in six starts to date, she has shaped with some promise on occasion, far from disgraced in a number of her runs as she has been gaining experience.

There could be more to come from her as she continues progressing and it may be worth keeping the faith in the daughter of Cracksman.

Lingfield, 16:52 - Back Way To Dubai @ SP

Seven-year-old gelding Way To Dubai improved plenty from his penultimate appearance at Wolverhampton when a close third to Royal Jet over 7f here recently. He stuck on well late on to place at odds of 16/117.00, and holds leading claims from an unchanged mark in this quick turnaround over a furlong shorter trip. 

The Mick Appleby-trained gelding has Billy Loughnane in the saddle as he seeks a fifth career win, capable of putting in another competitive effort on the back of a promising performance. He also put in a good run when just beaten by Union Island over a mile here in February and, although over a different distance this time around, has shown enough speed to be competitive in this sprint and should be finishing strongly. 

Despite being 4lb higher than his last winning mark when successful here in January, the son of Holy Roman Emperor has been competitive from a much higher rating in the past and is on a workable mark currently from which he should put in a bold bid.

Kempton, 17:30 - Back Timely Affair @ 2/13.00

Four-year-old gelding Timely Affair has shaped with great promise in recent months, finishing second to Latin on debut before shedding his maiden tag at the fifth time of asking in a mile Southwell contest. Latin is now rated 13lb higher after franking the form on three occasions since with a hat-trick of Wolverhampton wins, whilst a couple of horses in behind have also boosted the form including subsequent dual winner Al Baahy.

The son of Time Test narrowly denied Relevant Range, who has since won twice achieving a rating of 62 in the process, to win a classified contest in his penultimate start, in a race which also included three other subsequent winners including now 57-rated Rosemary's Rose.

Timely Affair couldn't justify short-priced favouritism when last seen, finishing fifth of 12 runners on his return to handicap company, but may be worth sticking with from an unchanged mark of 51 considering there's substance to his form and there could be further progression to come from him in only his seventh start. He has had a short break, making his first appearance in 64 days here, and is the standout in this field, capable of proving better than his current rating reflects.

Kempton, 20:30 - Back Mr Cool @ 4/15.00

Charlie Johnston-trained Mr Cool has previously run well over 6f at the track when making his first appearance here in October, just denied by Coul Angel at odds of 11/112.00. He put in a good effort that day to make the frame, and, although unable to build on the performance in following runs, is now on a 10lb lower mark over an extra furlong.

Far from disgraced on his return to the 7f trip in his penultimate start at Lingfield, the four-year-old gelding managed fourth to Monsieur Kodi in a respectable effort. He wasn't at his best when last seen but things didn't pan out favourably for him and he can fare better this time around. A likeable performer who is now 7lb below his last win, Mr Cool is one to note making appeal at the weights under Callum Shepherd. He's on a mark from which he can strike and warrants consideration as he seeks a third career win.
