Tuesday, usually a day to duck but there are three jump meeting with plenty of decent options, so I will be getting involved at all three venues today. Sedgefield, Exeter and Lingfield are the venues a full day that signals that we really are in the National Hunt season proper.

I have four bets today which may be worth playing in a multi-bet combining doubles, trebles and a four-timer. Here are the horses I suggested perming in what would be a very handsome payout if they all come good;

13:30 Lingfield- Absolute Shambles, Win

Lets hope Absolute Shambles (13:30) is anything but in what looks on paper to be a very modest novice handicap chase. The five year-old ran well to finish second at Wincanton a couple of weeks ago and really should go one better with Colin Bolger in the plate.

14:00 Lingfield- Sonowyouknow, Win

Bought by current connections out of the Ronald O’Leary stable following some decent form in bumpers, Sonowyouknow (14:00) repaid some of that outlay by winning a maiden hurdle at Aintree under Tony McCoy. That was a decent victory which should have taught the five year-old a thing or two about the game. With McCoy back in the saddle I see only one result here.

JUmping at three meetings

15:10 Exeter- Copper Bleu, Win

Philip Hobbs has started the season well and can sore at Exeter with Copper Bleu (15:10) who goes over fences and should have too much class for the field. With a rating of 142 over the smaller obstacles he is sure to have been very well schooled and should really get off the mark at the first time of asking. Nothing in the field has form within the same parish as Copper Bleu who has Richard Johnson in the saddle for assistance.

15:20 Sedgefield- Knockaveen, Win (NAP)

Alan Swinbank does exceptionally well in northern bumpers. Knockaveen (15:20) was another first time out flat race winner at Carlisle. I saw that race first hand, having an interest in a filly that ran down the field. Knockaveen is a very good looking sort and should win here. I think this won without being asked any question at all, by a mere nine lengths, with no telling just how good she could be. Knockaveen is my best bet of the day. The excellent Brian Hughes takes the mount.

Mondays Horseracing Tips, 9 November

It was a brilliant weekend at the Breeders’ Cup and yesterday, though not much of a price, Get Out Of Here confirmed that he is a decent horse in the making and one I fully expect to see at Cheltenham in March. The flat season is over so the next few months are all about jumps and all-weather racing which is what we have on offer on Monday; two jumps and one all-weather meeting. Carlisle is where my attention will be focused, despite the heavy going as well as Southwell where I am interested in a hurdle débutante.

1:55 Carlisle, Roll Along, Win (NAP)

Roll Along (13:55) isa decent horse over hurdles, boasting a handicap mark of 160 and exceptionally high class form. He makes his debut today for the Twiston-Davies yard, formally being with Carl Llewellyn, over fences which he last tackled when finishing fourth in a grade one chase in Ireland and was sixth to Kauto Star in the Gold Cup before that. On official ratings he has seventeen pounds in hand and I see no reason why he will not open his account for his new trainer at the first time of asking with Graham Lee taking the ride. Looking at the early prices on offer on Betfair I am rubbing my eyes. Am I missing something? Roll Along should be longs odds on, in my view.He goes well fresh and should hack up here.

We are Jumping at Carlisle and Southwell on Monday

2:45 Southwell- Holoko Heights, Win

Michael Owen was in London with Manchester United on Sunday, seeing Chelsea beat them 1-0 in an important Premier League match so I doubt he will be minded to venture toSouthwell to watch his horse Holoko Heights (14:45) make his hurdling debut. Now in the care of Tim Vaughan, formerly with Nick Vaughan, he has modest form on the flat but as we know Tim Vaughan likes to get them fit for their first run and has a record of improving horses beyond belief. The booking of Richard Johnson is eye-catching here and there are whispers already that this is one to be on first time out on a very fair course.
