TODAYS TIPS (MONDAY)

Matt Polley gives his best bets of the day as we kick off Christmas week.

12:50 HUNTINGDON 

He Knows Better looked like an improver, and was in the process of running a nice race when falling last time. If his confidence is in tact, he’ll go close.

Realisation and Impatient from the resurgent O’Neill yard, have chances, however, Petty Cash looks the pick.

He ran a fine race over an inadequate trip at Chepstow on his return, and that will put him cherry ripe for this.

PETTY CASH (WIN)

14:08 MUSSELBURGH 

Magna Sam likes it here, but this sharp three miles is the bare minimum for him.

Inis Oirr is becoming well handicapped, however, the same rules apply as to the aforementioned.

A chance is taken with Giovanni Change. This horse obviously has a soft spot for Market Rasen, but this track is not too dissimilar, and if the ground remains on the good side, he could have a little more pace than most of these.

GIOVANNI CHANGE (WIN)
