Nap of the day: the best horse racing tips from the day's four meetings on Tuesday, August 5

Catterick

4.00: Quercus

Irish challenger Spirit Of Eagles (second choice) is respected back up in trip despite her poor strike-rate, while C&D winner Dream Deal could go well off his sliding mark in first-time blinkers. However, this may be best left to six-time C&D winner Quercus who won't mind what the weather does and may again have the race run to suit.

4.15: Bear Island

Things clicked for Bear Island when he was a well-backed winner at Kempton last month and he appeals as a type who can continue to progress. Condotti was a close third over C&D last time and could provide the main threat ahead of Nakaaha, whose Newbury win has been franked by the runner-up.

Newbury

6.05: Miss Cartesian

Lady Wingalong (second choice) is vulnerable to younger legs but she knows how to win and was only just denied last time. Maid In Chelsea is worth a market check on stable debut, but this revolves around the well-bred Miss Cartesian who is 2-3 and remains open to plenty more improvement now switched to a handicap.

7.30: Gaelic Des Chastys

John Ryan's Zolpharine has been in fine form and has to be on the shortlist and Aurea Fortuna has to be considered if turned out quicky after his win over hurdles at Galway on Sunday. However, it may well pay to side with Gaelic Des Chastys. He was a good second in this last year off just 3lb lower, he's had a sharpener over hurdles and his rider's 5lb claim could be key. Malton Groove and One Night Standard are others with live chances.
