Horse racing tips: Bangor, Catterick, Chepstow and Wolverhampton – Templegate’s betting preview for Tuesday, October 31

KEEP a Secret for Bangor’s 2.30.

ALPINE SECRET (nap) has always looked likely to make a better chaser than hurdler. He went off too fast on testing ground at Hexham last time and today’s shorter distance on better going should be ideal.

1

SHORT WORK (3.45 Catterick, nb) has won his last three starts at around today’s trip. He ran well over further at York last time and remains in top form.

WYLDE MAGIC (2.50 Chepstow, treble) ran useful Geordie Des Champs close at this track last December. There was nothing wrong with his handicap efforts and he’s the type to improve this season.
