Today’s tip comes from Sedgefield where Howard Johnson has a good chance of landing this race for the second year running. FUSHE JO is rated about the best of these over timber and this well schooled seven-year-old has ideal conditions for his chasing bow.

Today’s tip comes from Newcastle where ZHAKIERA SPIRIT is well fancied to defy a penalty. Howard Johnson’s mare made a big impression when striking on her racecourse debut in this sphere at Wetherby some seven weeks ago and is very hard to oppose today.

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.

Next Edition | 2 points | Currently 9/2 |

Today’s tip comes from Catterick where CATHEDRAL SPIRES looks to build on a fantastic debut LTO at York. After taking a while to get used to proceedings, he started to pick up very nicely towards the end and, if it was not for being hampered in the last furlong, would have won comfortably. A reproduction of that effort, in much weaker company, should see him win easily today.

Today’s tip comes from Ayr where previous Grade 2 winner DEGAS ART looks to confirm the resurgent form he’s displayed at home. A past winner off marks of 140+, he gets in today at 120 with a 3lb claimer on board. He has beaten some big horses in his day, notbably Katchit on his hurldes debut. Has had his share of injuries which have hampered his performances off and on the course but word is that he is in good heart for today and should run a big race off this mark.

Degas Art | 2 points E/W | Currently 25/1 |
| 17:10 Ayr Jockey: J P O’farrell (3) Trainer: J Howard Johnson |
Course : Ayr Distance : 2m 4f Runners : 14 |

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.

Milans Man | 3 points | Currently 6/5 |
