Newsboy’s horseracing tips for Tuesday’s four meetings, including Huntingdon Nap
MOSTLY SUNNY (6.40, nap) is expected to shine for Dan Skelton at Huntingdon in the My Pension Expert Your Trusted Advisers Maiden Hurdle on Tuesday. The five-year-old was a useful handicapper on the Flat for Heather Main, winning a Class 4 race at Kempton in January over a mile and a half before being sold for 32,000gns. On his hurdles debut for Skelton at Southwell over two miles a fortnight ago, the son of Zarak travelled well and was strongly in contention before making a bad mistake at the last. My selection then rallied gamely in the last 110 yards but failed by a half a length to reel in Aquitaine Boy.
