Newsboy's racing tips for Tuesday's four meetings, including Uttoxeter nap
DE TELLERS FORTUNE (7.00, nap) can give punters a gift at Uttoxeter in the Visit The Gunroom At Eaton Hall Handicap Chase over three miles and two furlongs.
A former Irish point winner, Nicky Henderson's six-year-old scored a maiden victory over hurdles at Ffos Las in May last year, and followed up that success seven months later with his first chase win at Taunton, getting up in the dying strides to beat subsequent winner Langly Hundred by a neck.
After three moderates starts this spring, the son of Soldier Of Fortune bounced back with an emphatic victory on good ground over this course 52 days ago, despite having to negotiate a loose horse prior to the last fence.
My selection has been given an extra 4lb for that success, but as a fresh horse on his favoured good ground he can go in again.
CANDY WARHOL (5.10) is the pick in the Download The Raceday Ready App Handicap at Pontefract.
Scott Dixon's six-year-old won well at Wolverhampton last time in a handicap over the same five furlong trip by two and a half lengths.
The gelding has been progressing well on the all-weather and looks primed for a first win on turf at a track that should suit him.
