Horse racing tips: Newbury, Market Rasen, Lingfield and Newcastle – Steve Mullen’s betting preview for the racing this Wednesday, January 17

NEWBURY
1.20
It’s interesting to see DOITFORTHEVILLAGE sent over hurdles after a good win over fences at Cheltenham last time. He’s no less than 22lb lower in the weights over the smaller obstacles and will be suited by this trip and ground.

James Bowen is an eyecatching booking for Nicky Henderson’s Percy Street and he looks capable of better than we saw at Doncaster before Christmas.

1.50

OK CORRAL came back from almost two years off to skip around Kempton with ease when last on the racecourse. That was only eight months ago and we know he goes well fresh. He is well bred and could be anything if he can get to the races more.

Stablemate Whatswrongwithyou shaped with promise on his hurdling debut at Sandown latest and is open to lots of improvement.

2.25

TREE OF LIBERTY kept it simple when winning on his chasing debut. He jumped well from the front and left his rivals behind a long way from home. That was on soft ground and there should be plenty more to come.

Saint Calvados was a winning hurdler in France and struck on his first try over fences here last time. He should improve and looks a good prospect.

3.00

INDY FIVE is lightly raced for his age and won easily on his chasing debut at Taunton last time out. He showed a good turn of foot to run away from his rivals and there was plenty left at the line.

Kimberlite Candy battled on to win well at Market Rasen latest and should appreciate this slightly longer trip.

3.30

LADY OF LAMANVER has done little wrong over hurdles and took another step forward when winning after a long break at Fontwell last time. She’s lightly raced and should progress from that excellent comeback.

Sensulano might have won at Warwick last time but for a late mistake and she’s more experienced for that outing.

4.05
Big bumper yards in Warren Greatrex and Nicky Henderson both have two newcomers in this. So watch the betting but BADDESLEY KNIGHT showed plenty on his debut at Fontwell last time where he was beaten in a bunch finish. He looked very green there and is certain to improve for the run.
