Today’s tip comes from Newbury where BASEBALL TED gets the nod. He carries another 9lb following his 2m success at Leicester – his second win this season – but won with quite a lot in hand that day. This is his toughest task to date but he looks at the top of his game at present.

	Baseball Ted	3 points	Currently 9/2

Today’s tip comes from Newbury where Paul Nicholls looks to defend the race he won last year with the high-class BALDING BANKER. This son of Accordion stepped up on a promising debut performance when bolting up over C&D in November last year and further improvement could see him follow up and lead the way to next month’s Cheltenham Festival.

	Balding Banker	3 points	Currently 11/4

Today’s tip comes from Newbury where ACCORDINGTOJODIE earns the vote. He looked to have plenty in hand when scoring by four lengths on his debut at Galway and there should be plenty more to come from him.

Today’s tip comes from Newbury where RUSTARIX looks good value in an open race. Alan King’s gelding came good under today’s pilot when scoring on his reappearance at the recent Cheltenham meeting and could still be well handicapped despite a 4lb rise for that success. He displayed admirable resolution to land the spoils on good ground but is equally effective on terrain with cut so today’s conditions could be well in his favour.

	Rustarix	2 points E/W	Currently 11/2
	12:55 Newbury Jockey: Mr J Banks (7) Trainer: A King	Course : Newbury Distance : 3m 2f Runners : 12

Today’s tip comes from Newbury where the well thought of SUPER KENNY gets another chance to redeem himself. Although disappointing on both starts following an impressive victory on his hurdling debut, he is reported to have strengthened up over the summer and doesn’t look badly treated first time in handicap company.

	Super Kenny	3 points	Currently 3/1
	12:30 Newbury Jockey: David Bass (3) Trainer: N J Henderson	Course : Newbury Distance : 2m Runners : 13

Today’s tip comes from Newbury where the Jarvis stable hopes for better luck with one of their star recruits. Coventry runner-up ELZAAM has been given plenty of time to recover from the problems he encountered after finishing a disappointing third in the July Stakes at Newmarket and he is still held in the highest regard by Michael Jarvis. Almost certain to appreciate the step up from 6f, he is fancied to take advantage of this ease in grade.

	Elzaam	2 point	Currently 4/1
	14:05 Newbury Jockey: R Hills Trainer: M A Jarvis	Course : Newbury Distance : 7f Runners : 11

Today’s tip comes from Newbury where Mick Channon hopes his talented newcomer learns from his debut. YOJIMBO looked a winner waiting to happen when finishing second to the well-touted Fury on his racecourse debut over this C&D earlier this month and with improvement possible, he seems sure to mount another bold bid.

	Yojimbo	3 points	Currently 11/4
