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.

Today’s tip comes from Doncaster where MOSTLY BOB is capable of a big run if his late tumble hasn’t left a mark. This relatively unexposed sort was in the process of running a massive race when crashing out four from home on his chasing debut at Newbury last month and hopefully he can stamp out such errors today.

Today’s tip comes from Worcester where a Jonjo O’Neill mount looks to build on a promising result LTO. SEA CLIFF bounced back from a spell in the doldrums to score over this C&D last month and he remains feasibly treated despite a 6lb rise, so he could take all the beating this afternoon.

Today’s tip comes from Uttoxeter where a gelding out of Old Vic looks to go one better on his impressive recent form. DUNKELLY CASTLE was second on his chasing debut last May and returned to the larger obstacles with a pleasing enough effort at Hereford in August. He stays well and remains open to plenty of improvement.

Today’s tip comes from Uttoxeter where STRONG COFFEE, despite a 7lb penalty for his Newton Abbott win, looks to double up. He had some very good form over fences a couple of years ago but then seemed to lose his way. The fitting of first-time blinkers did the trick last time and, with the headgear on again today, he can continue his ressurgence.

Today’s tip comes from Perth where wise old campaigner OLLIE MAGERN looks to have a good each way shout. Despite being near the tail end of his career he has still been racing at a high level and today’s drop into class 2 could be what’s needed to get him back into the winner’s enclosure. His performance in the National was uninspiring but he was fairly game off of this mark in a similar affair LTO at Perth. The trip holds no fears, neither does the ground and at this level, off this mark (23lb than his last win), he can at least run into the places.

Today’s tip comes from Southwell where the Ford stable sends out BATTLE STATIONS and a big run is expected. Only seen twice since breaking duck in 2m4f Aintree novice hurdle back in June 2008 but was respectable fifth on recent return to action at Chepstow. He has reportedly had his problems but word is that these have been adressed and the horse is ready to perform. Robert Thornton booked as well, which is a big positive.

Today’s tip comes from Hexham where MILANS MAN goes for a hat trick against horses who should be scared of his prescence. It’s not often you see a horse rated 127 in this grade, especially one who is on an upward curve. He has adapted well to hurdles this season and, with stamina and attitude assured, he can defy a double penalty.

Today’s tip comes from Southwell where MAD VICTOR goes chasing under rules for the first time. This horse has been prolific in point-to-point; winning six of his 13 starts; last two gained in very easy fashion (winning latest ladies open at Chaddesley Corbett for second time) and confidence must be high ahead of rules debut.

Today’s tip comes from Chepstow where Robert Alner brings CASHEL BLUE back to the course in the hope of repeating last year’s success in the same race. Last year he won off a 3lb higher mark than today, again on good to soft ground. Soundly beaten all four subsequent outings but two of those have been in chases and the other two, over hurdles. All were in very testing ground and in higher grade. The stable is running very well and he’s well in with a chance today.
