Todays Racing Tip - SAINTE LADYLIME
Time & Track - 2.00 Southwell (04/12)
Best Odds - 13/2 @ Betfair

Stake - 1pt win

Analysis - Was consistent last season with a couple of chase wins along with three second placed efforts over timber, all over 3m with give in the ground. She was beaten a neck in this grade from 7lb lower at Ludlow and stepped up on that with a better effort in a higher grade from the front at Chepstow. She’s up 2lb for that but should have more to come back in a class 3 based on her 2nd in a Grade 2 at Ascot behind La Bague Au Roi. Won on first start after 245-day absence last season and if ready should go well with Jonathan Burke an interesting booking for Kim Bailey (1/4 when combining).

Result - Lost

Todays Racing Tip - DESTRIER
Time & Track - 1.00 Southwell (04/12)
Best Odds - 11/4 @ Bet365

Stake - 2pt win

Analysis - Hasn’t taken connections long to send this five-year old over fences. He own a couple of novice hurdles last season, as well as finishing 5th in the Grade 2 Dovecote behind Global Citizen (won a listed hurdle on Saturday). He returned to action with a solid third in a decent class 3 handicap last month and built for chasing should be competitive from the same mark on chase debut for the Skelton team.

Result - Won +4.95
