Racing tips today: Newsboy’s Nap at Lingfield on Wednesday

POWER OF STATES has flourished on the all-weather and he looks poised to strike in the Betway Handicap (1.15) at Lingfield.

Hugo Palmer's five-year-old rattled off a hat-trick at Chelmsford towards the end of last year, finding plenty of improvement equipped with a visor.

The retained headgear was again in place when he took third at the track on his next outing, before the son of Lope De Vega scored at Wolverhampton nine days ago.

He powered clear there under Tom Marquand and a 5lb penalty should not be enough to halt his progress in this higher grade.

At Kempton, UNDER WRAPS is the pick in division two of the Unibet New Instant Roulette Maiden Stakes (4.15).

John Gosden's Kingman filly posted an encouraging effort on her second start at Lingfield.

Slow to break from the stalls and hampered, she raced very wide into the straight and kept on without troubling the principals.

The experience will have done her the world of good and a first win could be forthcoming.
