Today’s tip comes from Wolverhampton where Bryan Smart brings a horse which needs backing until defeat. DUBAI HILLS has been a revelation on the Fibresand at Southwell in recent months, racking up a four-timer over this trip. He is unproven on Polytrack, but in a race of this nature, where he races off level weights against inferior rivals, this shouldn’t prove a problem.

	Dubai Hills	3 points	Currently 6/4
	15:30 Wolverhampton Jockey: A Carter (5) Trainer: B Smart	Course : Wolverhampton Distance : 7f Runners : 4

Today’s tip comes from Fontwell where DUNE SHINE looks to defy a 5lb higher mark after his win LTO. Things seemed to click into place for Oliver Sherwood’s charge when upped to this trip last time and, unexposed over the distance, he is fancied to follow up off a 5lb higher mark.

	Dune Shine	2 points win, 1pt place	Currently 9/2
	16:45 Fontwell Jockey: L Aspell Trainer: O Sherwood	Course : Fontwell Distance : 2m 2f Runners : 10

Today’s tip comes from Kempton where SIRE DE GRUGY looks the one to beat. Gary Moore’s star gelding stepped up on a pleasing debut over hurdles (second behind subsequent Grade 2 winner Bobs Worth) when demolishing his rivals at Fakenham and Folkestone respectively and he can take this step up in grade in his stride.

	Sire De Grugy	2 points	Currently 5/2
	15:35 Kempton Jockey: J E Moore Trainer: G L Moore	Course : Kempton Distance : 2m Runners : 7

Today’s tip comes from Sandown where connections of BALLYTOBER hopes he can repay some of the 85,000 pounds they have invested. He made a pleasing debut under Rules when recording an all the way success at Ffos Las last month. He seems sure to improve and his racecourse experience can prove decisive.

	Ballytober	3 points	Currently 5/2
	17:05 Sandown Jockey: R Johnson Trainer: P J Hobbs	Course : Sandown Distance : 2m Runners : 7

Today’s tip comes from Huntingdon where MOUNT BENGER should put his recent course experience to good use. This son of Selkirk had to settle for second best behind Cork All Star over this C&D earlier this month but there does not appear to be anything of that calibre in opposition today so he is fancied to go one better.

	Mount Benger	2 points E/W	Currently 6/1
	17:10 Huntingdon Jockey: Mr S Keating (7) Trainer: H Whittington	Course : Huntingdon Distance : 3m Runners : 7

Today’s tip comes from Kempton where BROUHAHA looks like he is edging closer to scoring with each run. He lost little in defeat behind an enterprisingly ridden winner at Wolverhampton last time. Tom Dascombe’s charge is allowed to race off the same mark again and looks weighted to make an impact.

	Brouhaha	1 point	Currently 3/1
	18:05 Kempton Jockey: R Kingscote Trainer: Tom Dascombe	Course : Kempton Distance : 1m 2f Runners : 12

Today’s tip comes from Wetherby where PACCO gets the vote to notch up his seventh career win. He looked better than ever when scoring by 6-lengths over this trip at Folkestone last time and an 8lb hike in the handicap may not be enough to prevent him from following up, especially with today’s forecasted soft ground.

	Pacco	2 points	Currently 9/2
	15:15 Wetherby Jockey: L Aspell Trainer: O Sherwood	Course : Wetherby Distance : 3m 1f Runners : 8

Today’s tip comes from Carlisle where it’s worth taking a chance on DOUBLE EAGLE. Jason Maguire’s mount has been chasing recently but turned in a couple of decent efforts back over hurdles last month. He finished second in a Grade 2 hurdle at Sandown in his youth and if he could recapture just some of that form, would take all the beating here.

	Double Eagle	2 points	Currently 6/4
	16:10 Carlisle Jockey: J M Maguire Trainer: D McCain Jnr	Course : Carlisle Distance : 2m 4f Runners : 6

Today’s tip comes from Market Rasen where CAPE TRIBULATION seems sure to provide a stern test after finishing runner-up to Wayward Prince in the Grade 2 Towton Novices’ Chase at Wetherby. He remains open to further improvement and is one to keep an eye on as the season develops.

	Cape Tribulation	3 points	Currently Evens
	15:30 Market Rasen Jockey: D F O’Regan Trainer: J M Jefferson	Course : Market Rasen Distance : 2m 6f Runners : 6
