Today’s free horse racing tips: Carlisle, Chelmsford, Southwell and Wincanton – Steve Mullen’s betting preview for Thursday, March 7

WINCANTON

1.40

PEMBERLEY hasn’t been asked too many questions in novice events so is starting off handicapping here from what could end up a pretty lenient mark.

He shaped as though this step up in distance would help when fourth at Plumpton last time and this doesn’t look a strong race.

Blue April is a quirky type but he ran his best race for a long time when a good third at Taunton last time.

2.10

This looks wide open and CLONDAW ANCHOR could improve for having had a breathing operation ahead of this handicap debut.

ONE IN, ONE OUT Santini given green light but Fox Norton misses Cheltenham

He won well at Carlisle before a decent effort at Lingfield ahead of another solid run at Leicester last time out.

He hasn’t been clobbered for his handicap debut and has a tongue tie to further help with his breathing.

Myplaceatmidnight likes this trip and track and was a good third last time on the back of a game win.

He’s 10lb higher than that now but could have more to offer.

2.40

LEN BRENNAN is still improving and was a good second at Carlisle last time when a test of stamina was right up his street.

He filled the same position here in January and has been largely left alone by the handicapper. The ease in the ground today will also help.
