Matt Brocklebank's first two tips have won - including the Nap. Check out the rest of his best bets.
Tuesday selections
Sky Bet odds | Paddy Power | Betfair Sportsbook | Free bets
PENDELLA - 15:17 Beverley (NAP)
It's Debatable is the one with the appealing profile but an opening handicap mark of 80 doesn't look a gimme for Ed Bethell's gelding, who might ideally need a bigger field and stronger pace to chase. Given the tactical scenario expected to play out, PENDELLA could be the one at an advantage as she won't mind leading and could be happier back on better ground compared to Epsom last month. This also represents a dip in class for Karl Burke's filly and the form of her penultimate effort when second at York reads well in this company.
TALLAHASSEE LASSIE - 15:00 Ffos Las
There's plenty to like about the claims of TALLAHASSEE LASSIE on nursery debut at Ffos Las. She shaped quite well on debut at Ascot in May (subsequent winners in behind) and although the soft ground at Goodwood didn't help her second time out, she shaped well at Leicester last time. The daughter of Tasleet had to make her challenge slightly away from the bulk of the action but ran on well to be third and she now goes handicapping from a mark of just 61.
FILLE IMBASSEE - 16:30 Leicester
It could be a case of rinse and repeat for FILLE IMBASSEE at Leicester following her course and distance success here at the end of last month. It wasn't a strong race, admittedly, but there are question marks over Tuesday's rivals too and Tom Kiely-Marshall seemed to get a decent tune out of the filly from the front. Bergamo Gold looks the possible pace pressure this time but she's been a very weak finisher the last time and it's not hard to see Fille Imbassee keep rolling to complete the double off just a 3lb higher mark.
MANLY FIREBALL - 17:55 Wolverhampton
MANLY FIREBALL has competition for he lead but stall three looks a good sit for Richard Hughes' charge back in the handicap ranks at Wolverhampton. He opened his account at the sixth time of asking in a course and distance novice event last month and that ready win should have given him plenty of confidence. The 100/1 third has since too too to give the form a reasonable look and a mark of 80 may not be beyond this speedy son of Ardad.
Wednesday selections
MARDY BUM - 15:10 Catterick (NAP)
She was a major eyecatcher on handicap debut here last week and MARDY BUM looks ready to open her account.
David O’Meara’s charge was doing all her best work inside the final furlong when third behind Penny Capri and looked to be crying out for this step up to six. From an unchanged mark she makes plenty of appeal.
IP UP - 15:48 Uttoxeter
She was back to winning ways under a change of tactics at Market Rasen last time and IP UP remains well handicapped on old form despite a pound rise.
Sean Quinlan got her to relax in a refitted hood, and his partner rattled home to beat Pigeon House by half-a-length. She’s won from a seven pounds higher mark than this in the past and can give likely favourite Ask A Sainte plenty to think about.
JIMMY MARK - 16:31 Bath
He’s in good form now and effective at the track so JIMMY MARK is an obvious call for this weak contest.
The six-year-old was second to Show Biz Kid over course-and-distance on his reappearance and returns to Class 6 company, the only grade he’s ever won at, following a good run in a better race at Windsor last time. He looks sure to be there or thereabouts.
AMBISHIO - 17:00 Yarmouth
He’s down in grade and below his last winning mark so AMBISHIO is an interesting bet for his shrewd team.
They reach for a first-time hood and cheekpieces on Wednesday and if they have the desired effect, he’s a well handicapped horse who hinted at a revival when running well for a long way at Newmarket last time. Conor Whiteley is excellent value for his five-pound claim too.
RON’S ANGEL - 18:50 Lingfield
She was predictably out of her depth in the Albany at Royal Ascot, but RON’S ANGEL makes her handicap debut in much calmer waters and is fancied to defy top weight.
The two-year-old had made a promising start to her career, finishing second at Bath and then winning over this trip on the all-weather track here in June. She looked upwardly mobile then and the form of her half-a-length defeat of subsequent winner Zigazig Ah suggests an opening mark of 73 is fair.
