TODAYS TIPS (TUESDAY)

Rory Paddock takes in jumps action from Ireland and all-weather racing at Newcastle for his selections this Tuesday. 13:05 CLONMEL

A winner just nine-days ago Staffordshire Knot can claim back-to-back success here at Clonmel. Hailing from one of Ireland's top yards and representing a powerhouse owner he showed enough when winning recently to indicate he's a horse on the up.

French Dynamite and Queenofthelodge look the biggest dangers having both also claimed victory in their most recent outings.

STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT (WIN)

17:15 NEWCASTLE

In terms of recent form Somebody's second-placed effort when last seen looks the strongest on offer in this nursery handicap. A repeat of that effort should be enough to see Richard Spencer's charge go one better this time around.

With just the four runners entered there's no each-way value however the most likely to follow the selection home is the Billy Loughnane ridden Up The Agenda.

SOMEBODY (WIN)
