Wednesday's racing bulletin
The Five Live selection is Tomina in the 1520 at Lingfield (all times GMT).

Musselburgh passed its 0645 inspection on Wednesday and the meeting goes ahead with the first race at 1400.

Temperatures fell to -2C over night but have risen to 2C with a forecast that temperatures will rise to 7C.

The ground is officially good with good-to-firm places.

Leicester has also got the go-ahead after it passed a second inspection at 1030.

There are no problems at Lingfield where the eight races on the Polytrack surface get under way at 1320.

Jockey Timmy Murphy makes the 370-mile trek to Musselburgh from his Oxfordshire base to partner three horses for Howard Johnson.

Credit looks to have the best chance in the 1500 following a pleasing debut over hurdles.

He was decent on the flat for Richard Hannon and will not need to improve on his debut to score.

Galero in the 1400 looked very tough when scoring at Catterick last month, but will need an improved performance to maintain his winning streak.

The best bet of the day is Tomina in the 1520 at Lingfield.

Emma Lavelle's horse needs an extreme test of stamina so the two-mile trip is ideal.

The last time the horse ran on the all-weather the distance was far too short and the horse was doing all his best work in the closing stages.

Add to this a success over the jumps at Southwell recently and Tomina looks the bet of the day.
