Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's five meetings
Tuesday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team
Ballinrobe
5.38: Only One Plan
An open race but not many coming here in form. The recent rain will help Only One Plan, who will be hard to beat on his Roscommon winning form. Atlantic Wonder and Clear The Clouds would be next best.
Justin O'Hanlon
Chelmsford
6.50: Macanudo
A few of these may ultimately be best served by a bit further, notably Commander Of Life, but an easy 6f will be fine for Macanudo, who took another forward step last time. St Lukes Chelsea and the wide-drawn Zipster are interesting newcomers.
Graham Wheldon
Musselburgh
3.40: Ascot Adventure
Gone could be all the better for a break and she'll give her running, but Ascot Adventure is the call. He's a winner waiting to happen off his reduced mark and 7f is more his trip these days than the 6f over which he ran so well at York recently. Lilikoi can also be in the mix.
Alistair Jones
Southwell
3.55: River Of Joy
This can go to River Of Joy, who finished well and was nicely in command in the closing stages of a 2m novice at Ffos Las last month. Both her running style and her pedigree promise further improvement over today's longer trip. The other two hurdle winners Manimole and Me Belle Noire have pretty solid claims but the biggest threat to the selection may come from Sunday Soldier, who was placed in two bumpers in the spring.
Chris Wilson
Wolverhampton
8.30: Show Compassion
Valentine Blues still has potential for this yard and she has gone well fresh before so she has to be of some interest. Speed Dial Baileys is unexposed and is considered, along with veteran Storm Melody, but the pair to focus on could be the 4yo fillies Sparked and Show Compassion. The former should benefit from the marked drop in grade but the selection won with something up her sleeve over 6f here two weeks ago and can make light of a 4lb rise.
