Horse racing tips TODAY: Horses you must back at Bath, Catterick and Lingfield | Racing | Sport - (2021)

Tudhope can strike at Catterick with Gold Venture (2.40) and Ollivander (3.40) before partnering MONTALVAN (8.50, nap) to victory at Leicester.

The former Irish-trained Montalvan opened his account for trainer Roger Fell at Ripon four-days ago when Tudhope was in the saddle.

On that occasion had something in hand and can defy his 6lb penalty. Alicia Darcy, winner of her last two outings, will be the obvious danger but the concession of 3lb to the selection will make it a tough ask.

At Lingfield AMBLING (3.20, nb) can be rewarded for some solid efforts in defeat.

Recent Wolverhampton winner Distant Chimes will be a popular choice, but Ambling will be the value bet.

After a losing run of 20 outings SHADY McCOY (7.35, treble) can return to form at Sandown.

He is now a 2lb below his latest winning mark and his shrewd trainer Ian Williams has found a moderate contest for this talented gelding.

The nine-year-old was expected to run at Newbury last Saturday but connections decided not to run on account of the soft ground. Conditions will be ideal tonight.
