Steve Ryder is back with three free tips from today's racing cards.
2:02 Leicester
Tip 1: No Tackle - 1pt
Best odds of 5/1 at bet365 while publishing.
The Robbie Llewellyn stable is having a better season, and hopefully that continues with NO TACKLE back at Leicester. The nine-year-old has form figures of 131 at this track, including victories off marks of 104 and 102.
No Tackle has returned this season in good form, winning by 4 ¾ lengths at Lingfield on his penultimate start before finishing 2nd last time off a mark of 114. He was beaten nine lengths that day, so the handicapper has dropped him 1lb, and he should run well from the bottom of the weights.
14:43 Newcastle
Tip 2: Betsen - 1pt
Best odds of 11/4 at Ladbrokes while publishing.
BETSEN (best priced at 11/4) won on his stable debut for Tony Carroll last time when defying odds of 40/1 at Southwell in a Class 2 handicap 0-100 handicap. The five-year-old had previously dropped from a rating of 102 to 84 in his starts in Ireland for Jack Davison so he was starting to look well handicapped.
There was no fluke about the success of Betsen last time, he was held up and even had to wait for room before winning by a neck at the finish. The handicapper has only raised him 2lb for that victory and he actually now drops in grade to this Class 3 0-95 handicap. He looks the one to beat after a short 55 day break.

Tip 3: Hunky Dory - 1pt
Best odds of 7/4 at Paddy Power while publishing.
The Mick Appleby trained HUNKY DORY (best priced at 15/8) has form figures of 3221 for this stable and he gained a opening career success last time when fitted with first-time cheekpieces. The four-year-old had been beaten less than a length on his previous two starts but showed a better attitude in the finish in headgear.
If the cheekpieces have the same effect for a second time then Hunky Dory should prove hard to beat off only a 4lb higher mark over the same course and distance.
