Free horse racing betting preview and tips for Monday February 3


Keith Hamer makes Via Serendipity his best bet at Wolverhampton and we have a tip for every race and all the market movers.

NAP: Via Serendipity 7.00 Wolverhampton

Next best: Ember's Glow 8.30 Wolverhampton

Via Serendipity could not quite hold Another Touch at Newcastle last time, but Stuart Williams' six-year-old can gain his revenge in the Bombardier Golden Beer Conditions Stakes at Wolverhampton.

Despite running too free in the early stages, Via Serendipity looked like landing the spoils when he hit the front over a furlong out, but he had no answer to Another Touch's late challenge and went down by three-quarters of a length.

That narrow defeat in a fast-track qualifier meant Via Serendipity just missed out on securing a place on All-Weather Championships Finals Day. However, it was a good effort and he can gain compensation against his old rival.

Ember's Glow has been quite consistent of late and can register a third course success in the Betway Classified Stakes.

Mark Loughnane's six-year-old ran a nice race at Kempton last time when third to Wally's Wisdom and a return to Dunstall Park can result in a fourth career win for the Sepoy gelding.

Opportunist should give a good account in the Betway Novice Stakes.

The Martyn Meade-trained four-year-old did not see a racecourse until December, finishing a never-dangerous fifth over a mile and a quarter at Lingfield.

But there was money for him, suggesting he shows ability at home, and while Ben Curtis felt he was never really travelling, he did make reasonable progress in the closing stages.

The Cape Cross colt promises to be a different proposition with that experience under his belt.

She's Easyontheeye lived up to her name when third at Newcastle following an 84-day break.

John Quinn's three-year-old is sure to be at fever pitch after that when she contests the Ladbrokes Where The Nation Plays Handicap.
