Today’s Racing Tips: Three Best Bets for Tuesday’s Meetings

Fakenham, Lingfield and Ayr make up a low-key, but nonetheless fascinating, Jumps programme on Tuesday.

We’ve selected three handicap hurdlers, one at each meeting, which we believe are worth an interest.

Fakenham: 2:25 British Racing School Course 356 Mares’ Handicap Hurdle 2m3y

Talking About You hasn’t been seen in public since April but, as a free-going sort, may have been unsuited by Cheltenham on her last two starts and may be capable of making a winning reappearance. She takes a signficant drop in class and, with the combination of a tighter track and rain-softened ground likely to play to her strengths, has plenty going for her.

Selection: Talking About You (5/1 with William Hill)

 

Lingfield: 2:40 Follow @attheraces On Twitter Handicap Hurdle 2m3f110y

A maiden after his first 13 starts over hurdles, Mr. Jack proved a revelation last season, winning four times, and may not have finished improving yet. Of course, he is nine years old, but made a perfectly respectable reappearance in a similar race at Plumpton earlier this month. Stepping back up in distance, off a 1lb lower mark, should do him no harm and he is clearly well suited by a sharp, undulating track.

Selection: Mr. Jack (9/2 with William Hill)

 

Ayr: 2:15 Coral ‘Fail To Finish’ Free Bets Mares’ Handicap Hurdle 2m4f100y

A winner over 2 miles 4 furlongs at Sedgefield in early October, Joie De Vivre looked in need of a stiffer test of stamina when only fifth behind subsequent easy winner Quinta Do Mar at Carlisle last time and has that here. She recorded her only other victory over hurdles on this course last October and, while she needs a career-best effort to prevail, looks by no means impossibly handicapped.

Selection: Joie De Vivre (12/1 with William Hill)
