TODAYS TIPS (MONDAY)

Matt Polley tackles a top-class contest at Exeter and hopes to bag another winner at Newcastle.

Lulamba will be all the rage on his chasing debut.

He’s a fine horse with a big reputation, along with a helpful four year old allowance. but is he one to take a very short price about?

It’s not impossible to pick holes in his form, and combine that with his yard having a relatively slow start to the season, it’s not a ridiculous notion to take him on.

Salver is only five pound behind on official ratings, and all the recent rainfall can only benefit him. He’s taken to upset the hotpot.

SALVER (WIN)

15:35 NEWCASTLE 

Nebras ran a nice race to finish second at Newmarket last time, and he along with Bragbor, a recent purchase for the Fahey yard, should go well. Savvy Victory is a course and distance winner around this time last year, and is also six pound lower here today.

He’s shown enough recently to suggest he could be well handicapped.

SAVVY VICTORY (WIN)
