Neil Morrice brings you all of his best bets and tips from Tuesday’s racing at Yarmouth, Brighton, Punchestown and Newcastle.
Yarmouth Best Bet
Race 3: ROCHESTER HOUSE (2)
Trainer: Mark Johnston
Jockey: John Egan
Although it’s impossible to put a line through the name of any of the four runners, ROCHESTER HOUSE looks destined to get onto an easy lead, as was the case when he hosed up on his first turf run at Pontefract. That form is arguably stronger than Questionnaire, as the latter only scraped home at Wolverhampton.
Brighton Best Bet
Race 4: SWEET CHARITY (5)
Trainer: Denis Coakley
Jockey: J Watson
SWEET CHARITY has the balance and brawn to handle these undulations and back up the promise of her return to action at Lingfield. Beaten just two lengths by El Ghazwani, she will be happier back on turf and looked in good order breezing up the all-weather yesterday.
Newcastle Best Bet
Race 2: CHAPLIN BAY (5)
Trainer: Ruth Carr
Jockey: James Sullivan
A liking for this course can stand CHAPLIN BAY in good stead as he returns following a pleasing first run of the year here earlier in the month. Over the same seven furlongs, he weaved his way through rivals and was finishing best of all, and has a good chance of turning the tables on the second, Chosen World.
Punchestown
Race 6: DISCORAMA (4)
Trainer: Paul Nolan
Jockey: Brian Cooper
After frustrating his supporters by failing to get by outsider Le Breuil in the four-miler at Cheltenham, DISCORAMA can adapt to this cut back in trip and harvest handsome compensation. He picked off his rivals one by one in that incident-packed contest but after looking sure to win was still half a length down at the line. He will go off at decent double-figure odds.
