Our racing tipster has picked out his best two selections from today's cards.

ROBIN DES MANA (NAP) (best price 13-8) was extremely unfortunate to bump into the progressive and potentially very smart Goose Man at Down Royal last time out and he rates a good bet to get back on the winning trail in a race where he should be able to dominate from the front. Seemingly in control of his latest race 18 days ago going down to the last, horse and jockey had a difference of opinion and from going into the fence three lengths ahead, they allowed the eventual winner to draw upsides and seize the initiative late on. Prior to that slightly unlucky effort, Gordon Elliot’s inmate had run out a wide-margin winner of a competitive handicap when his main market rival fell at the last and with his time figures suggesting he’s been running to a fair standard of late in victory and defeat, he should prove difficult to peg back granted an uncontested lead

LOOKSNOWTLIKEBRIAN (best price 4-1) has made a pretty decent start to his chasing career and following a breakthrough success over today’s course last time out, the seven-year-old can provide his in-form stable with another winner at one of their local tracks. Having run well on chasing debut at Chepstow over 3m 2f, there was a slight worry that a big drop back in trip might just catch him out over today’s course 62 days ago, but that theory was rendered unfounded as he readily brushed aside his seven rivals. Moreover, his time figure he posted backed up the visual evidence of the performance and with a record for going well fresh in the past, Tim Vaughan’s charge looks primed to put up a bold show.
