Our best bet of the day for Cheltenham Tuesday is:
Won well in a class 6 handicap last time out and moves to classified stakes now looking well treated.
Usual pilot Mohammed Tabti remains in the saddle and he hit the front with a furlong to go last time out so should handle the slight drop in trip here.
The one to beat.
| Date | Course | Distance | Type | Weight | Position |

| 08/06/25 | Perth | 16.2 | Good | 10-13 | 2 |
| 28/05/25 | Cartmel | 17.2 | Good to Soft | 12-0 | 7 |

| 21/03/25 | Musselburgh | 17.4 | Good to Soft | 11-6 | 3 |
Our Dark Horse tip - a big odds horse we think could spring a surprise - tip for Tuesday is:
Has been in good form of late not finishing outside the front 3 on any of his outings.
Looks well treated in the context of this race and will likely appreciate a little bit of dig underfoot.
Should go well under Hannah Crawford.
