TODAYS TIPS (FRIDAY)

Liam Hall leaves Cheltenham's November Meeting alone this Friday and turns his attention to Southwell and Newcastle for his trio of bets this Friday. 14:07 SOUTHWELL

A bumper that could be a dual between the two Fergal O Brien horses and Dan Skeltons. Vango Can Go was a pleasing second in an Irish point before joining the Skelton team, that form looks rock solid and is sure to be in the frame. 

Colins Legacy has bumper winners in the family as well as 2 mile hurdle winners but stable mate Gidge has the experience of a run in a bumper which was finishing second to a vastly experienced competitor who'd been fifth in a listed bumper. 

GIDGE (WIN) 

14:42 SOUTHWELL

This looks a two horse race on paper, Adonedeal won an Irish point before joining this team, everything about that form and time suggests this horse is well above average and the jumping experience might just see him come to the fore ahead of bumper winner Wondering Why who looks the next best. Son Of Tyrone should be showing more than he has so far and will be one to follow once handicapping. 

ADONEDEAL (WIN) 

15:40 NEWCASTLE

Power Quest and Miss Veronika are the only two with any Racecourse experience but both look like they'd have to improve vastly to get involved. Out of the newcomers Marvel Magic and Striking Midnight look tailor made for this type of race with the tentative vote being for Striking Midnight. This son on Jet Away ticks alot of boxes for a bumper around Newcastle. The dam won two bumpers before winning at Listed and Group 3 level over hurdles. 

STRIKING MIDNIGHT (WIN)
