Wednesday Racing Tips: Key Timeform data, including a top-rated Horse In Focus

14:22 Redcar - Flower Youmzain interesting on nursery debut

5 (4)

Flower Youmzain (Ire)

• J: Kevin Stott
• T: Kevin Ryan
• F: 5433

• SBK 9/2
• EXC 6

Owner Jaber Abdullah has a couple of fillies making their handicap debuts in the nursery at Redcar and both could be in the shake-up, though preference is for Flower Youmzain trained by Kevin Ryan.

She showed some promise in her first couple of starts but has taken her form up a notch to finish third in a couple of novices at Beverley and Carlisle on her last two starts.

Flower Youmzain earned the 'Horse In Focus' flag from her Carlisle run when unlucky not go very close after being snatched up late on, and with further improvement to come she can gain compensation here.

15:57 Perth - Tamarind Bay going from strength to strength

4

Tamarind Bay (Ire)

• J: James Bowen
• T: Mickey Bowen
• F: 2323-11U1

• SBK 7/2
• EXC 4.8

'Hot Trainer' Mickey Bowen is always one to note when sending runners up to Perth from his Pembrokeshire base, so the yard's progressive six-year-old Tamarind Bay makes plenty of appeal.

His chasing career only began in June, but he has already made into a useful performer over fences, winning his three completed starts and looking the likeliest winner of the other one when unseating at Perth.

Tamarind Bay was an emphatic winner from the thriving Thickthorn Tom at Bangor last time on a first try at three miles, earning the 'Horse In Focus' flag and he heads the Timeform weight-adjusted ratings here.

16:15 Listowel - Nowwhatdoyouthink looks best in Kerry National

8

Nowwhatdoyouthink (Ire)

• J: J. W. Kennedy
• T: Gordon Elliott, Ireland
• F: 533121-34

• SBK 7/2
• EXC 5.3

Four of the first five home in the Galway Plate meet again in the Kerry National at Listowel, including winner King Alexander, though he'll be bidding to complete a double that hasn't been achieved since 1995.

Preference, therefore, is for one of those who finished just behind him, and Gordon Elliott's Nowwhatdoyouthink, fourth at Galway, appeals most heading the Timeform weight-adjusted ratings.

He shaped as though ahead of his mark on his debut for Elliott at Galway and can prove it on his return to three miles at a track that should suit his smooth-travelling style of racing better.
