Wednesday's Best Bets: I've waited too long for Yulong

Tippin’ Jimmy makes his debut with three selections across the card from the UK & Ireland. He’s hoping for a profitable midweek.

3:00 Carlisle – West Drive (5/1)
Trained by top handler Roger Varian, West Drive can bag a third straight victory after an impressive performance at Windsor last time out. He ran very well, beating Opposition who won next time out at York. He won narrowly but should improve from that run, he’s a progressive type and looks to have a lot of potential. The conditions at Carlisle are testing, but he should handle it.

6:50 Naas - Yulong Xionghu (6/4) NAP
Mick Halford's well-bred colt should be the one they all have to beat here is Yulong Xionghu. The three-year-old finished second on his only start, when not beaten too far by two-time listed placed True Valor. That horse had more experience that day, having being beaten narrowly by multiple group placed Lancaster Bomber. That form stacks up much better than the rest of the field, and he should improve from that run significantly. He should act on the ground and trip, he’s improving, and looks a brilliant prospect in the making. I really like his chances, and think he'll run a huge race.

8:50 Naas – Breeze (9/1) each-way
Another horse in Ireland who could be set for a maiden win is Breeze for Fozzy Stack. I’ve been following the three-year-old in all of his three starts, and he ran two good races when fourth before going a lot better last time out when second. He lost out to a good horse that day, and should improve from that effort. This is a very tough maiden contest, but he should give another strong account of himself.
