Horse Racing Tips: Katie Midwinter's best bets on Wednesday including 22/1 Yarmouth pick

---

Fairyhouse, 16:38 - Back Pass The Buck @ 2/13.00

Equipped with a first-time visor, Pass The Buck is one to note in this mile-and-a-quarter claiming race.

Yet to get off the mark in six starts to date, the maiden has run well in both of his latest two runs, finishing third to Glamazon at Ballinrobe in his penultimate start before achieving a fourth-placed finish  in a 14-runner race on his return to handicap company at Limerick, over 2m1f.

Back over a shorter distance here, the son of Australia should be capable of making his presence felt under Joey Sheridan for Joseph O'Brien. He has shown he possesses some ability and remains open to further improvement.

Yarmouth, 16:45 - Back Sunset In Paris E/W @ 22/123.00

In the final race on the card at Yarmouth, Sunset In Paris could be capable of putting in a bold bid back in handicap company. He's winless since a Wolverhampton Classified Stakes success last summer, but has since put in a couple of decent efforts in this sphere, including when third from a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield in December at odds of 50/151.00.

The experienced eight-year-old, who makes his 48th career start in this mile-and-a-quarter contest, wasn't disgraced over course-and-distance when last seen finishing fifth to Zafaan, but is capable of better on his day and could be worth keeping the faith in as he bids for a seventh win.

Kempton, 19:13 - Back Nunc Est Bibendum @ 13/82.63

Gary and Josh Moore-trained Nunc Est Bibendum caught the eye when second to Night Breeze at Epsom on reappearance in April. That was her first run following a short 96-day break over a mile-and-a-half trip and she travelled well into the race.

Over this extra distance, over which she was able to record three successful wins from December to January last winter, the five-year-old mare could be worth keeping the faith in for an in-form yard currently performing at a 25 percent strike-rate in recent weeks. She's 5lb higher than her last win at Lingfield, but did record a comfortable success on that occasion following on from a seven-and-a-half-length win at Southwell, and could still be well treated at the weights.

Bet of the day: Fairyhouse, 20:00 - Back Indigo Dream @ 9/25.50

Sporting a first-time tongue-tie as she bids to return to the winners' enclosure, Indigo Dream makes appeal in this 7f handicap. She's back in a smaller field having been luckless in big-field handicaps recently, deserving of a change in fortune and on a workable mark from a rating of 81.

Trained by Ross O'Sullivan, the Havana Grey filly has been generally consistent so far this year and has put in a number of promising performances following her maiden success at Dundalk in December. She has placed twice behind now 105-rated Stateira, chasing home the talented filly in a tough Newcastle contest during the spring, as well as finishing second to Keke at Naas. 

Things didn't work out favourably for her in her penultimate start at Cork in a 15-runner contest, and she wasn't able to threaten for the major honours when a creditable fourth at the Curragh when last seen. In this contest, the four-year-old filly could be worth keeping onside as she holds solid claims in the hands of Siobhan Rutledge.

Kempton, 20:20 - Back Mbappe E/W @ 16/117.00

In the penultimate contest at Kempton Park on Wednesday evening, the first division of a mile handicap, Mbappe makes appeal in the hands of 3lb claiming Jack Callan from a mark of 60. 

Whilst he may not quite be performing to as high a level as his namesake, he does possess ability and is only 2lb higher than his last winning mark when successful over course-and-distance in January.

His latest run may be worth forgiving following a 141-day break, and, returning to familiar surroundings, he could be capable of a much better showing as he seeks a fifth win.

The five-year-old son of Blue Point has plenty of course experience in his favour and has won from a 4lb higher mark in the past. He is one to note at the weights and should be able to make his presence felt in this field for trainer Mark Loughnane.

Fairyhouse, 20:30 - Back Shoot To Kill E/W @ 10/111.00

Likeable gelding Shoot To Kill returned to form at Roscommon in May, improving on his previous efforts this year to place at odds of 14/115.00 on that occasion. He finished second at Down Royal in his subsequent run, but was unable to make an impression at Leopardstown when last seen.

Still on a workable rating of 70, 10lb below his last winning handicap mark, the experienced nine-year-old may be worth keeping onside. He makes appeal at the weights as he bids for a 13th career success in his 86th start, and, if able to get into a prominent position and good rhythm early on, should be staying on well late on over this 7f trip under Luke McAteer.

---

Fairyhouse, 20:30 - Back Loingseoir E/W @ 9/110.00

Ten-year-old gelding Loingseoir is only 4lb higher than his last winning mark with Jack Cleary claiming 5lb in the saddle, and has been seen to good effect recently when a staying on fourth in both of his latest two runs at Leopardstown.

Capable of making the frame once again from a workable rating, the experienced veteran, who is making his 77th career start in this Fairyhouse finale, holds strong each-way claims at the weights for Michael Grassick. He is in good form currently, clearly retaining plenty of ability despite being in the twilight of his racing career, and warrants consideration.
