Time for some horse racing action! Let's dive into Tuesday's fixtures at Fakenham and Worcester, and I've got the lowdown for you, thanks to Tom Lunn's expert picks.
Tom's examined the race cards, form, going, and much more to help you make wise betting decisions for the day.
So, here are your horse racing tips for today:
- FAKENHAM 4.15: Tommie Beau (4/1, 1pt)
- WORCESTER 7.18: Liverpool Knight 9/1 each-way (1pt)
The Powerhouse - Tommie Beau
Tommie Beau's last two races saw him as an 80/1 and 150/1 longshot in January, in a challenging Class 2 event won by Protektorat. He struggled in the grade 2 Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham, yet shown strong form in cross country races and in races where he was well-positioned.
He's never shied away from tough competition, as evidenced by his performance in the London Handicap Chase against Mr Vango, a great stayer. Previously, he'd also displayed impressive form, winning three times and scoring a close second place last year.
Although Glynn and Le Milos seem like potential contenders, they are yet to prove their strength over this distance compared to Tommie Beau. Equus Dancer appears to be a more challenging competitor; however, Tommie Beau seems poised to claim the victory.
The Thoroughbred Steed - Liverpool Knight
Liverpool Knight had a difficult race last time when dropping to 2m. But he's back over the extended distance today and appears to be better suited to it, along with a drop in grade. Although top-weight, he's consistently placed close in recent races and is a strong candidate for an each-way bet at this impressive price.
