Horse racing tips: Tuesday picks from Dave Nevison

Our resident website tipster Dave Nevison put up a 9-4 winner and advised 16-1, 14-1 and 11-2 chances that hit the places in his most recent columns and has suggested three runners to note for Tuesday. Enjoy all the action from Huntingdon, Leicester and Gowran live on Racing TV.

3.13 Huntingdon: No Anxiety

If he is now freshened up and in any sort of shape he must win this.

No Anxiety is perhaps not that well named given his poor jumping over fences when we saw him last and it didn’t get much better when he reappeared after quite an absence in a novice hurdle recently. However, he has still won two of his six career steeplechases and been placed in others and, at one point, looked a useful chaser in the making.

I did a double take when I saw how much No Anxiety had been dropped in the handicap since he was pulled up at Catterick on his latest steeplechase run. That 18lb is a huge drop in the weights and enables No Anxiety to run at a very lowly level here.

He is also going back right-handed now, which should suit him better than left-handed Catterick.

4.55 Newcastle: Military March

Saeed Bin Suroor has a long history of bringing horses back in good shape after an absence - especially at this time of the year – and the trainer can repeat the trick here.

Military March is a six-year-old now but the last time we saw him in this country he was running a highly creditable fourth in the 2000 Guineas in the Covid year of 2020. Since then he has run just once, when disappointing when 11-8 favourite in a Group Two in Meydan nearly three years ago.

A mark of 107 here is no bargain, but I remember him looking like a class act when he beat the subsequent Group Two winner Al Suhail in Group Three company as a two-year-old, and if he retains any of that ability, he can land this handicap under Oisin Murphy.

7.00 Newcastle: Irish Flame

Michael Dods’ four-year-old has not won a handicap as yet but his mark has gradually dropped over the last year and, on recent efforts, he looks well capable of getting into the winner’s enclosure soon.

Irish Flame was second over this trip in a similar handicap over course and distance on his penultimate start and ran well to be beaten just a 1½ lengths in a mile handicap last time.

The course and distance winner clearly acts well over this all-weather circuit and his turn is very near.
