Horse racing tips for Tuesday: Dave Nevison's best bets

Epsom’s seven-race card on Tuesday afternoon commemorates some memorable names that have trained on Epsom Downs and, after writing this, I will be reminiscing about some terrific touches landed courtesy of some of those who the races are named after.

I have actually just shocked myself looking up Jaldi, one of John Sutcliffe’s horses who I had spotted getting teed up for a handicap. He was backed down to favourite for the last race at Chepstow, a 0-70 handicap on the May Bank holiday after five unplaced efforts, abd I was on big style. He absolutely hosed in, but the shock is that was 30 years ago now! Those were the days…I think I’ll have a lie down now!

Below are my best bets for Epsom and Carlisle, the two meetings live on Racing TV on Tuesday.

I did like the chances of Kimifive in the 4.20pm at Epsom, but he ran on Monday, so I expect the seven-year-old will be a non-runner on Tuesday. Best of luck.

Has become a Brighton specialist this summer and has progressed from winning at basement level off a rating of 47 in May to scoring in good style off a 9lb higher mark last time out.

His only disappointing effort this season was at Yarmouth on his penultimate outing, and he is away from his beloved Brighton here. He’s also up in the weights again but he won by almost three lengths on his latest start and Epsom is the nearest equivalent track to Brighton, with horses who act well at that venue often doing well here.

The way Bear To Dream is progressing, his opportunities at Brighton are going to be limited in the near future, so it has to be hoped he can remain competitive in this higher grade.

Rhys Clutterbuck, who won on selection last time, keeps the ride here and claims a useful 3lb.

The drop down in trip and application of blinkers for the first time are just enough to convince me this maiden handicapper might be worth chancing at a decent price.

I watched this three-year-old in action at Redcar on his reappearance and noted him as one to follow in a modest middle-distance event, but it seems stamina is not his strong suit.

He ran well at Thirsk on his penultimate start and then did too much, too early over seven furlongs at Catterick last time out.

A stiff 6f in a race where they are set to go very quick might just be ideal for him here, and bookmakers will be offering five places at least, so Audit is worth backing to fill one of them.
