Things are pretty quiet on Tuesday across Britain and Ireland, with just a trio of afternoon jumps meetings to look forward to.
However, there is still plenty of decent fare, and Racing Post tipster, Marcus Buckland, has provided three recommendations for the day's action.
Marcus Buckland's Tuesday Horse Racing Betting Tips
14:00 Fairyhouse - Ballyfad @ 11/10
14:50 Lingfield - Foinix @ 6/1
15:10 Huntingdon- Latin @ 9/4
14:00 Fairyhouse - Ballyfad @ 11/10
This is arguably the strongest race of its type run this season and looks certain to throw up plenty of future winners.
Gordon Elliott has won three of the last 10 renewals, most notably with subsequent five-time Grade 1 winner Gerri Colombe in 2022, and is responsible for four of the 12 runners this time around at Fairyhouse, all of which demand respect.
Preference is for Ballyfad, who showed some high-class form over hurdles as a novice last season, including a short-head defeat in a Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown in February.
He's been off since finishing third behind Dan Skelton's Bossman Jack at Aintree in April, but won on his rules debut after an almost identical absence a year ago and is unlikely to be found wanting in terms of fitness.
The five-year-old is the pick of stable jockey Jack Kennedy and is from the family of smart staying chaser Macgeorge, so has the potential to rate significantly higher over fences than his current hurdles mark of 145.
14:50 Lingfield - Foinix @ 6/1
The Jim and Suzi Best-trained Foinix has fared no better than fifth in any of his previous hurdles starts.
However, he performed respectably on the Flat this year, including a win on the AW here in August, and is worthy of a small interest in a weak race off his basement mark.
The six-year-old, who has won five times on the Flat, is rated just 79 in this sphere and doesn't have much improvement to find, having already run to Racing Post Ratings (RPRs) of 70 and 71.
Sean Bowen's first booking takes the eye, with the two-time champion jockey having won on six of his previous 18 rides for the yard.
Bowen also shows a monster level stakes profit of £179.84 at Lingfield over the past five years.
15:10 Huntingdon- Latin @ 9/4
This should present a golden opportunity for Latin to gain a deserved first success over hurdles, the five-year-old having gone close in handicap company in his last two outings.
The gelding was sold out of Olly Murphy's yard for just £7,000 following his latest short-head defeat, but he remains in good hands, having joined Donald McCain.
He brings the strongest recent form of any of his six rivals into this race, running to RPRs in excess of his current official mark at both Market Rasen and Plumpton last month.
A repeat of either effort should suffice in this lesser grade.
