Tuesday’s racing line–up delivers an excellent mix of flat handicaps and sprints, with cards spread across Brighton, Chepstow and Kempton. Each track has its own quirks: Brighton’s undulations often catch out horses unfamiliar with the course, Chepstow’s straight five furlongs test raw pace and stamina, while Kempton’s Polytrack rewards those able to travel smoothly and quicken off a strong rhythm.
The fixtures on August 19 are particularly appealing for punters seeking value. Several handicaps are populated by runners with exposed form, leaving space for better-handicapped or improving sorts to strike. This is exactly where our team at BettingTips4You have focused their attention, singling out three compelling selections to combine in today’s horse racing accumulator. Each tip has been carefully weighed up by one of our dedicated experts – John Pentin, Herrin Kendrick and Gram Dodd – who explain their reasoning in detail.
Together, their picks combine experience, course form, and proven recent performances, offering what could be a well–balanced multiple bet for today’s action.

15:45 Brighton – Unknown Journey
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Brighton is a track where specialist knowledge counts for a great deal, and Tony Carroll has long been regarded as one of the go–to trainers at this seaside venue. Unknown Journey looks like a particularly shrewd runner for him in the 1m2f handicap restricted to those who have not yet found success this year. While previously campaigned over longer trips up to a mile and a half with another yard, Carroll has sensibly been operating this gelding at seven furlongs to a mile since the switch. Those runs have hinted at a horse capable of more, and this intermediate distance could prove to be the sweet spot.

At Goodwood earlier in the season, he stuck to the task admirably in a race that has since produced other winners. That effort was backed up by another decent run at Kempton, again suggesting the raw ability is present, just waiting for the right set–up. With most of his rivals looking older and exposed, this step into a weaker race looks an ideal opening. The likelihood is that Brighton’s demanding finish will suit his style, especially if the race sets up for a closer, and the application of Carroll’s local expertise could prove decisive in guiding him to victory.
18:30 Chepstow – Over Spiced
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Over Spiced has blossomed into a very consistent sprinter for Grace Harris this season, and the return to Chepstow promises another big performance. This filly already boasts a course–and–distance win from May, when she demonstrated both speed from the gates and determination in the closing stages. That success was quickly followed by another at Lingfield over the minimum trip, which confirmed that she is thriving on her racing.
Her recent form lines are strong, and she remains on a mark that looks very workable given the level she has been competing at. What enhances her claims further is the booking of Tom Marquand, one of the most reliable riders in the weighing room, who adds a significant boost to her chances. The combination of proven track form, current wellbeing, and an experienced jockey in the saddle makes her a highly credible selection.
Chepstow’s straight sprint track places a premium on both pace and resilience, qualities that Over Spiced has displayed repeatedly. She has the tactical speed to get into a handy position and the stamina to keep finding at the finish. With conditions to suit and her confidence high after recent wins, she has every chance of extending her good run of results here.
16:00 Kempton – Grand Traverse
Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Few horses arrive at Kempton in better nick than Grand Traverse, who was an emphatic course–and–distance winner just last week. Carrying a penalty for that success, he lines up in this seven–furlong handicap looking to strike again, and there is every reason to believe he can follow up. On his latest outing, well backed into favouritism, he secured a perfect early position from stall one before quickening decisively in the final furlong. That display was every bit as authoritative as the bare result suggested, underlining that he is a horse in form.
Archie Watson’s five–year–old has now won both of his all–weather starts in style, showing that the synthetic surface plays perfectly to his strengths. His previous victory, also at Kempton, came when travelling powerfully before putting the race to bed with a decisive burst inside the closing stages. That ability to quicken at the right moment makes him especially dangerous in this type of race.
Despite carrying the extra weight, his current mark still looks within range of his ability, and he has once again been handed a favourable low draw in stall four. Everything points to another bold showing. Against opponents who are less proven under these conditions, Grand Traverse looks a standout choice to keep his winning momentum going.
