Horse racing tips: Timeform preview and selections for evening action

HOLY BEE - 17:00 Wolverhampton

HOLY BEE is still a maiden after five starts, but it's surely only a matter of time before she puts that right after showing improved form to finish second in a big-field handicap at Yarmouth last week.

Beaten just a length by another improver, Holy Bee did well to finish as close as she did after running green entering the final three furlongs.

She is likely to progress further as she gains in experience and the step up to a mile and a half also looks a good move.

Crucially, Holy Bee can race from the same mark as she did at Yarmouth and another bold bid is expected.

IVYNATOR - 19:00 Wolverhampton

IVYNATOR seems to be a better horse on the all-weather and he bounced back to form after 11 weeks off when third at Kempton last time.

Settled in mid-division in the early stages, he made good headway in the straight and ultimately passed the post just half a length behind the winner.

The handicapper has left Ivynator's mark unchanged on the back of that effort and the step up to a mile and a half should suit given his strength at the finish at Kempton.

In a wide-open contest, he could be worth siding with to double his career tally for Charlie Fellowes.
