TODAYS TIPS (MONDAY)

Matt Polley heads to Newcastle with his best bets of the day coming on the all-weather. 17:30 NEWCASTLE

Pantile’s Gift will be popular in the market. There’s mixed messages in his pedigree that this stiff mile and a quarter is what he needs.

Sovereign Bright is quite exposed, but is fit and ready to go.

It might be worth taking a chance with Raven’s View. He’s clearly been trained with handicaps in mind, and the seven furlongs handicap debut looked sharp enough. Will be suited by this step up in trip.

RAVEN’S VIEW (WIN)

19:00 NEWCASTLE

Grant Wood is in cracking form and looks sure to run his race.

Paddy’s Day, who likes it here, and Evening Saigon is open to improvement, however, Wicket Keeper really caught the eye here last time.

He was drawn away from the action, and overcame at lot of negatives to run a fine race. He won’t have to have come on too much from that effort to go really close here.

WICKET KEEPER (WIN)
