Best horse racing tips for today’s action at Market Rasen and Newcastle from Tom Bull
Don't miss out on Tom Bull's best bets at Tuesday's meetings
THE snow and sludge has claimed Sedgefield this afternoon, but hopefully warmer temperatures spell the end of abandonments for the time being.
There are still two competitive meetings to have a crack at today and I reckon I've found a couple of tasty ones.
Market Rasen
2.20 Parlour Maid - Richard Hawker's runner came with a right old rattle to chin the favourite at Lingfield last time, and if reproducing that off a 5lb higher mark is the one to beat.
She's not the most consistent but that was only her first chase start and she should be able to improve further.
This is a poor race and provided she's not inconvenienced by the slightly softer ground, she should win her second race on the trot.
Bully's Tuesday Bankers
Market Rasen 2.20 - Parlour Maid
Newcastle 4.10 - Tetradrachm
Newcastle
4.10 Tetradrachm - Has been walloped with a 9lb rise for bolting up at Wolves last time out but still manages to sneak into a 0-65.
He clearly appreciated the switch to in-form Rebecca Menzies and/or the application of cheekpieces, and the headgear is fitted once again.
I'd be very surprised if he wasn't able to win again given the visual impression he made last time out (went from last to first in a matter of strides coming round the home turn).
The race is a decent one but there's no denying he has the most potential.
