Dave Nevison's horse racing tips: Best bets for Tuesday
By Dave Nevison
Last Updated: Tue 5 Dec 2023
I have found three who look to hold strong claims in big field handicaps on Tuesday, so hopefully they get placed, at least, as an each-way multiple looks the way to go. Make sure you look out for bookmakers offering extra places, too. Best of luck.

Finished: 10thSP: 7/1
Has been an overall consistent performer on the whole since he won this race last year under this rider and seems certain to go close once more.
Donald McCain’s eight-year-old is clearly well suited by this course and distance and ran a typically solid race last time out when finishing second behind a short-priced favourite, who is clearly on the upgrade.
The headgear has been increased in severity with blinkers replacing cheekpieces here, and that might be enough to bring out more improvement in him. A repeat victory could be on the cards, but a place looks a very solid possibility.

Finished: 2ndSP: 11/10
Completed a hat-trick in efficient style at Wetherby last time out and it didn’t look as though his winning run was about to come to an end anytime soon.
All his victories have come under Tom Buckley who will be able to claim his 3lb allowance in this race which effectively negates more than half of what The Imposter has been raised since his latest victory, so still looks very well treated.
He clearly enjoys a slog and although he has won over three miles the past twice, his winning run started over a trip shorter than this, so I am not concerned about the drop back down in distance, especially as Exeter tends to be a tough test.
His case is even stronger given that, despite the big field, there seems to be very few in this field who might challenge him for the early lead, so Buckley should be able to dictate his own fractions.

Looks another solid option in a low-grade, big field handicap and can get back on the winning trail here, even though he is 6lb higher than when getting beat at Wetherby last time out.
He really should have won on that occasion as he was given plenty to do before motoring into contention, and his effort told close home.
His trainer and jockey have been one of the forces of this season and it seems very unlikely Sporting Mike, who may well be a very useful prospect, will not run up to form.
