Planet Sport's tipsters have a wide range of top selections for Wednesday's racing on February 8.

Let's start with a quick list of our selections for Wednesday's races, there's a bit more detail on some of our highlighted horses further down the page.

Don't forget to check out the racecards, results and live odds in the Planet Sport racing live centre.

14:05 (Southwell) Here We Have It

Laura Morgan repeatedly shows that with the right ammunition she is a very capable trainer.
She runs Here We Have It off top weight in the Vickersbet.com Handicap Chase at Southwell and there is every chance he can follow up a course and distance win from early December.
He meets the runner-up Treshnish on 4lb worse terms, but Sue Smith's charge had a 3lb conditional on board that day who is replaced by Brian Hughes this time.

15:40 (Southwell) Sedge Wren

Stuart Edmunds had a slow first half of the campaign but his horses are running into form.
His Sedge Wren was an easy winner on her hurdling debut in October and can defy a penalty in the Cazoo Mares' Novices' Hurdle

19:30 (Kempton) Rooful

On the same card, it is Eve Johnson Houghton's Rooful who looks set to continue a great run of form in the Join Racing TV Now Fillies' Handicap.
The five-year-old has enjoyed a purple patch since autumn, winning three of her four starts over seven furlongs at Kempton and suffering only one loss when the runner up at the same track over a mile.
The winner on the latter occasion has won four times since, boosting Rooful's hopes of another all-weather success when returned to a mile against her own sex.

20:00 (Kempton) Earl of Tyrone

At Kempton there is an interesting runner in the Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Conditions Stakes as Earl Of Tyrone makes his debut for William Haggas.
The chestnut was previously trained in Ireland by Paddy Twomey and has a Listed win and an Ebor third under his belt from that spell.
Though he will be making his debut on the all-weather at Kempton, an entry in a fast-track qualifier for the All Weather Finals Day suggests confidence in this route and under Haggas' care he cannot be overlooked.
