TODAYS TIPS (TUESDAY)

Sam King focuses on Tuesday’s action at Wincanton as he pinpoints two runners worth following.

1.30 Wincanton

Paul Nicholls saddles two in the two and a half mile novice hurdle at Wincanton and it could prove worth taking a chance on the apparent second string Lancelot d’Alene. He was incredibly disappointing when a tailed off last of eight at Chepstow on his hurdling debut 65 days ago, but he was sent off just 15/8 there and surely better was expected. A runner-up in an English point-to-point, this French-bred Jeu St Eloi now looks too big in the market, while Freddie Gingell is by no means a bad replacement with Cobden opting to ride his stablemate.

15:00 WINCANTON

Joe Tizzard and Brendan Powell have enjoyed a fine start to the season, with the former also in good form after saddling five winners from 26 runners over the last fortnight. They team up with Bobbi With An I in the two and a half mile mares’ handicap hurdle and she looks to hold obvious claims now dropped in both trip and grade. Joe Tizzard’s mare was by no means disgraced when fourth in a warmer handicap hurdle at Ascot last time out and she shaped as though this drop back in trip would suit when weakening after hitting the second last. She’s slightly better off at the weights with the reopposing Apples Moon on their Exeter form and that might make all the difference here.

Win - Bobbi With An I
