Today’s tip comes from Ripon where a Mick Channon horse is being gambled on. FALKLAND FLYER landed a race last June from the front in a small field and today’s setup of 8 runners could play to his strength. Sam Hitchcott is back on board today, boasting a record of 1-2, and the money coming for the horse is obviously a big positive. Worth a chance each way.

Today’s tip comes from Newcastle where Howard Johnson’s front runner looks an attractive bet. Trailblazer NEXT EDITION managed to get his head in front at Redcar and if allowed an easy time of things at the head of affairs again, he may well get this extra furlong and land a double.

Today’s tip comes from Goodwood where Amanda Perrett’s filly comes here seeking a hat-trick win. MIRROR LAKE did everything that was asked of her LTO, winning with plenty in hand. Although unproven on soft ground, but everything else looks to be in her favour and she is taken to continue on an upward curve.

Today’s tip comes from Cartmel where a horse, clearly in good heart, comes looking for a hat-trick. HOLOKO HEIGHTS scored in selling company at Uttoxeter and Southwell and despite this being a step up in class, he is clearly thriving at present and looks the one to be on again.

Today’s tip comes from Newcastle where old campaigner DIVINE SPIRIT may be able to capitalise on a career low mark. The horse has been showing a little more sparkle of late and he could finally be ready to strike now. His has not won for more than two years but is now 20lb lower than his last winning mark so today could be his day.

Today’s tip comes from Cartmel where CIANNTE is sent on her hurdling debut. Form of small-field Hexham bumper win in July boosted when runner-up won next start in good style and, given that she has won an Irish point, today’s step up in trip and switch to hurdles looks sure to suit. Stuart Crawford will have her well schooled for her hurdling debut.

Today’s tip comes from Brighton where DAJEN looks to close out a fantastic season with a win. Beat a subsequent Listed winner in Brushing at Yarmouth in April and comfortably scored LTO in a class 2 handicap. Laura Pike is back on board, claiming 7lbs, and she gets on very well with the horse, winning on 3 of their last 4 outings.

Today’s tip comes from Yarmouth where a hotly fancied horse looks to get off the mark. 350,000 dollar purchase BUTHELEZI showed up for a long way in a hot Newmarket maiden won by a well-regarded Godolphin newcomer and holds entries in the Royal Lodge and Racing Post Trophy. That sort of pedigree should be enough to see off these rivals.

Today’s tip comes from Windsor where MATTEROFFACT aims to defy a 5lb rise in the weights. Easy winner at Chepstow LTO, coming home with plenty in hand. No worries with the trip or the ground and she should be able to defy a 5lb rise in the weights.

Today’s tip comes from Musselburgh where Mark Johnston could have another typical 2 y/o improver on his hands. With the older brigade consistent but exposed, CAT O’ NINE TAILS looks a bit of an unknown quantity this season. The daughter of Motivator was never threatened at Thirsk last time and should be well suited by this step up in trip.
