Racing Tips: Wissahickon to continue meteoric rise at Lingfield?

Saturday’s racing odds, tips and preview

The ITV racing cameras are out in force again this weekend, bringing you the action from Kempton, Lingfield and Newcastle.

With the Cheltenham Festival only a couple of weeks away, trainers will be looking to improve their runners’ form ahead of the showpiece event in mid-March. Things are kicking off at Kempton at 1:50pm, with seven live races for you to watch and enjoy.

We look ahead to today’s biggest races, complete with another round of tips…

Fusil Raffles – 2:25 Kempton

The Nicky Henderson-trained four-year old is among the front runners in the form guide, after picking up a first and second place finish in separate newcomers races in France last July.

The gelding still has a lot of improvement to come, but on current levels has to command respect from the rest of the pack.

It’ll be a good test to see the real pedigree of Fusil Raffles with Henderson throwing him in at the deep end, but if his undoubted talent shows, it’ll be another win notched up for the four-year old.

Wissahickon – 3:15 Lingfield

It’s hard to ignore the form of the four-year old coming into the race, as well as the pedigree he has over the course and distance.

The John Gosden-trained horse won twice here over the winter, and both Gosden and jockey Frankie Dettori will be expecting another big victory in the prestigious Winter Derby.
