Horse Racing Tips: Nap of the Day

Ben Linfoot has the best bets from around the tracks on Wednesday with the Nap running at Hamilton.
Wednesday's selections
SOLID SILVER – 3.20 Hamilton (NAP)
It’s Sir Mark Prescott’s time of year and back up in trip SOLID SILVER can land the Fixing Point, Roofing Supply Shop Handicap over 1m5f at Hamilton. Prescott unsurprisingly has a terrific strike-rate up at Hamilton and it’s a massive 38.71% in the months of May and June since 1997, so this mare makes plenty of appeal over the furthest she has ever been on the Flat. Thrice-raced in bumpers, she has earnt a mark of 70 after racing over 10 furlongs twice but more is expected from her over this distance.
JUNIPER – 2.58 Newton Abbot
The softer ground can help JUNIPER regain the winning thread in the Newton Abbot Racecourse Conference Centre Handicap Chase. The 10-year-old mare won on soft ground at Taunton and Wincanton earlier this year before she was outpaced at a crucial stage at Cheltenham on better ground in April last time out.
ZOZIMUS – 3.10 Beverley
ZOZIMUS is knocking on the door and looks to have been found a good opportunity to finally land a second career win in the Dr Eddie Moll Handicap at Beverley. The six-year-old is 1 from 35 but he’s on a winning mark now and was unlucky not to double his win tally in a better race at Newmarket last time where he was mugged on the line by Great Blasket. Danny Tudhope will likely have to deliver him late in this, but he’s just the man for the job around Beverley.
THUNDER FLOW – 6.12 Kempton
A bit of time and a gelding operation could be just what the doctor ordered for THUNDER FLOW ahead of the Try Unibet’s Improved Bet Builder Handicap at Kempton. William Haggas’ horse fell short in two handicaps earlier this year after being keen and hanging, but he’ll likely be more straightforward after being gelded. He showed promise over six furlongs at Wolverhampton and he’s worth another chance from a mark of 65.
KILTA – 8.20 Cartmel
The in-form Sam England takes another three to Cartmel on Wednesday night and all need considering, but her KILTA looks the one to be on in the Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase over 2m5f at 8.20. This horse won a race over hurdles at two miles, but he’s bred for a fence and a trip and it’s telling England has pinpointed this track, where she does so well with her runners, for his chasing debut.
He's 0-6 over hurdles so far but chase winner THATZA DAZZLER has been running well in both disciplines in recent months and could be hard to beat in this modest affair. The latest Uttoxeter form looks decent enough in this sort of grade as the fifth has since been second at Fontwell and Thatza Dazzler may only need to repeat that level to go two places better.
FLEMEN'S TIPPLE - 7.40 Warwick
FLEMEN'S TIPPLE took advantage of his reduced mark to score at Huntingdon earlier this month and although a 6lb rise looks a shade harsh on the face of it, he was rated even higher around this time last year and does handle all types of ground so won't mind the forecast showers.
