TODAY'S TIPS (TUESDAY)

Daryl Lay picks out two runners for Tuesday's best bets.

The Dan Skelton-trained Queen’s Wish will be a warm order, being the only winner in the race and is likely to start at cramped odds. The value could be to side with Volakes, given he is likely to improve on his first outing when finishing third in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster. The son of Nathaniel is out of a race mare rated 100 on the flat and he finds himself in the national hunt sphere having been an inmate of William Haggis when having three runs on the flat. As a four-year-old he gets a valuable weight allowance – Queen’s Wish has to give him 20 pounds and he receives 13 pounds from second in the betting Blazeon Fire.

16:15 LIMERICK

Road Exile went down by the narrowest of margins on debut to a Charles Bryne inmate thought good enough to be entered for the bumper at the upcoming Dublin Racing Festival, and the Gigginstown son of Derby winner Harzard is taken to go one better here. Handler Gordon Elliott has a handy 24% strike rate this term in bumpers and his runners are always worthy of consideration. The Emmet Mullins trained newcomer Watchful Protector is worth taking note of in the betting, but the experience should tell and Road Exile is taken to gain quick compensation.

ROAD EXILE (WIN)
