Free racing tips: David Clough previews Tuesday's action with Nap and next best selections


Sudona is among David Clough's best bets for Ripon this evening and he has a tip for every race there and at Ayr.

Ripon and Ayr hold evening cards, and there are interesting contenders at both tracks.

Sudona provided David O'Meara with his 1000th career winner at Pontefract last Tuesday, and she switches from West to North Yorkshire in search of a follow-up success under a penalty in the Ure Bank Fillies' Handicap.

She was comfortably on top at the end of 10 furlongs last time, and a second success in the space of seven days is far from out of the question over a mile and a half here.

Earlier on the Ripon card, Herbert Pocket can bag the Sharow Handicap. Tim Easterby's gelding outran his odds despite rearing in the stalls in first-time cheek-pieces at Thirsk last time.

On the basis he reproduces his best from that performance, rather than the worst, he has good prospects off the same mark.

At Ayr, House Deposit may prove an appropriate winner of the Stair Handicap after staying on strongly over this trip in second at Catterick at the start of the month.

Declan Carroll's gelding has been put up a further 2lb but is still racing well below the rating he had this time last year.

Southwell stages its second jumps fixture of the new season, and Thibault can get the punters off to a flyer in the Visit signsolutions.org for Racecourse Branding Novices' Handicap Chase.

Trainer Kim Bailey's few runners since the restart have performed well - and Thibault, who came up against some classy opponents at times over hurdles, may well prove a better chaser.

It will therefore be no surprise to see the lightly-raced seven-year-old strike on his fencing debut.
