TUESDAY RACING TIPS

15:30 Nottingham

Sunrise Valley is interesting in that she’s been kept in training for a four year old campaign. She is trained by a master at improving horses with age. Despite the fact she was disappointing on her final start last season, she had looked progressive until then. A mark of 85 looks exploitable.

Khatwah has been in cracking form through the winter on the all weather, but proved she isn’t a one trick pony with a comfortable victory on the turf recently. She’s obviously a player.

The vote goes to Mystical Air. She is open to any amount of improvement. Her dam Dark Promise was a beautiful big mare who improved with age. There’s every chance the filly could follow in her mother’s footsteps, and this could be a stepping stone on to better things.

MYSTICAL AIR (WIN)

18:35 Punchestown

Bob Ollinger will likely be all the rage here. However it’s hard to forget his dismal performance at Cheltenham, when beaten a long way out before be handed the race on a plate. It hasn’t been long since that laboured effort, and he’s worth taking on.

Capodanno, only a six year old has enough form in the book to take advantage, however he is also overlooked in search of some value.

Beacon Edge is the selection. He’s had a relatively light season, which is always a help in these end of season races where well-being can be as in important as form. The key to him maybe the likely decent ground, and at the prices, he’s well worth a chance.

BEACON EDGE (WIN)
