Horse racing tips: Tuesday May 6
There are five horse racing meetings across the UK and Ireland on Tuesday. The action starts at Fakenham (2.15-4.50pm), one of three National Hunt fixtures along with Ffos Las (2.30-5.00) and Worcester (5.48-8.18).
On the Flat there are cards to enjoy at Cork (4.38-8.08) and Wolverhampton (6.30-9.00), and our nap of the day – Take The Boat – races in the 8.00 at the latter meeting, the day's only all-weather fixture.

8.00 Take The Boat – Class 6 Handicap (7f)
TAKE THE BOAT comes into this sprint for fillies in a great run of form, having shed her maiden tag at Kempton in February and won twice more at the same track since then.
The first of those victories came over a mile, while the last two were over today's trip, with her most recent run being a career-best performance in a 13-runner handicap 27 days ago.
This Des Donovan-trained filly has had Rob Hornby in the saddle for all of those three victories and the 29-year-old retains the ride tonight. We're backing Take The Boat to take a 4lb rise in her stride.
