Free horse racing selections for Wednesday July 25


James Fanshawe's Insurgence is the nap selection as Anita Chambers highlights some of her strongest fancies across the cards on Wednesday.

Insurgence can bounce back from a lacklustre effort last time by winning the Club188 Exclusive Offers Handicap at Sandown.

James Fanshawe's charge had made strides on the all-weather, winning three of his four starts, including when victorious in a competitive heat at Kempton last month.

However, switched to turf at Yarmouth at the end of June, Insurgence struggled to make the same kind of impact, trailing home an eight-length fourth of five runners.

Racing over a mile that day, he perhaps did not enjoy the most favourable of positions on the track and just ran out of gas in the final furlong.

Switching back to seven furlongs, Insurgence is worth another try on turf.

Heartwarming had to settle for second on her racecourse bow at Sandown last month but can step up on that in the Club188 Hospitality EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes back at the Esher track.

A half-sister to Heartache, she ran a bit green to be beaten less than a length, with winner Kurious subsequently running a creditable race in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot.

Employer is the pick in the Bet & Watch At 188bet.co.uk Handicap after a close-run thing last time out.

He was beaten just a length into third at Yarmouth but hardly helped his cause by hanging across the track, so if he can chart a more direct route, he has more to give.

Oasis Fantasy lost out by just a neck on his most recent outing but the Tom Cribb Handicap at Leicester appears a good opportunity to get his head back in front.

The seven-year-old has not struck gold in over two years, but he has been placed on his three most recent starts, which offers hope of a return to form.

Jfoul is worth a try in the Smith & Graham/Love Property Nursery Handicap at Catterick, despite making hard work of winning at Chelmsford.

He ran with the aid of a hood but will be without the headgear here, which is an intriguing decision from Saeed bin Suroor.

The Newmarket trainer should also be on the mark at Lingfield, with Mokhles in the Oilfield Offshore Underwriting Handicap.

He posted his best effort yet when second on his most recent start and is reasonably treated for his handicap bow.
