Free horse racing tips for today: Kempton, Lingfield and Newcastle – The Wizard of Odds’ betting preview for Tuesday, January 15
The Wizard of Odds guides you through Tuesday's racing at Kempton, Lingfield and Newcastle
ARQALINA (3.40 Lingfield) was entitled to need her first couple of runs in the UK after more than three years off the track.
She seems to have blown away the cobwebs judged on her excellent third at Hereford last time out.
That came over this distance off the same handicap mark before taking the 5lb claim of today’s rider into account.
She should appreciate the little cut in the ground and comes from the Venetia Williams yard that continues in fine form.
DR RICHARD KIMBLE (1.20 Newcastle) was a winning handicapper on the level for Mark Johnston and it’s interesting to see him have a rare runner over the sticks.
Given that those with hurdling experience haven’t achieved very much, this looks like a decent opportunity to have a winning jumper.

AIR DE ROCK (1.40 Lingfield) put in his best effort over fences for a long time when beaten in a photo at Chepstow last time out.
He battled right to the line there and lost very little in defeat. He’s being turned out again pretty quickly and before the handicapper can react to his improvement in form.
This is a similar contest to last time and there’s no reason why he won’t go one better.
DERRIANA SPIRIT (2.20 Newcastle) won a bumper at Carlisle and has taken well to hurdling with a debut second at Ayr last time followed by a convincing win at Hexham.
She didn’t have to hit anything like top gear in that success and shapes as though this step up to 2m4f will be ideal.
Trainer to follow...
Nicky Richards has been winning with 38% of his runners in the past two weeks. He has solid claims today with Elios Dor in the 12.45 at Newcastle and Derriana Spirit in the 2.20.
RAMSBURY (4.10 Kempton) managed to win well at Wolverhampton on debut last month despite missing the break badly.
He picked up well to win going away, with this 1m4f distance suiting really well.
You would expect him to take another step forward despite shouldering a penalty for that success.
