Horse Racing Tips: Doctor to down rivals at Ayr for Murphy

Olly Murphy's Doctor Ken made a hugely encouraging chasing debut on his seasonal reappearance at Aintree earlier this month as the six-year-old bounded to glory, and the potentially progressive chaser will look to make it two out of two over the larger obstacles on Tuesday and is a red-hot 11/10 favourite for the 13:40 at Ayr. Given a 4lbs rise for that win on Merseyside, Murphy's raider is entitled to progress on his second start and the likes of Postdata from the Racing Post (2nd in naps table) and RP Ratings from the Racing Post are among the five tipsters to nap the Murphy hotpot.

Southwell host National Hunt racing today and fresh from Champion Hurdle favourite Constitution Hill's win in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle, Nicky Henderson and Nico De Boinville team up again in the 12:25 contest and the Seven Barrows team are unleashing the 2/1 chance Ile De Jersey. Napped by three tipsters including Fortunatus from the Sheffield Star, Ile De Jersey was a faller on chasing debut, but is back for another crack at fences today and having shown decent form over hurdles then he could well bounce back with aplomb here.

Punters looking to kick off the day on a winning note could head to Lingfield Park's opener at 11:40 and the Spotlight Tip Of The Day is the 11/4 chance Deep Sigh, who runs for David Simcock and Olivia Haines. Second of 12 last time out at Chelmsford, the Simcock charge will be 2lbs higher this afternoon, but shaped like a mark of 65 is workable and has to be respected.

Gordon Elliott's Demandrivingdouvan is already a 20/1 shot for the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival and will make his hurdling debut this afternoon in a fascinating maiden hurdle at Punchestown at 14:55. An impressive bumper winner last time out the Cullentra House inmate is a hot 11/10 favourite for today's event and is the best bet of current naps table leader Moorestyle from the Daily Star Sunday, who currently sits on a profit of £23.79.

Lee Sobot of the Yorkshire Evening Post is going in search of a third winning nap on the bounce and he heads to Ayr's 12:00 race for his best bet of the day, and has sided with the 4/6 favourite Gaillimh A Stor. West Country from the Racing Post is the only other tipster to have napped back-to-back winners and that tipster has napped Jonjo O'Neill's Red Dirt Road, who is 15/8 for the 14:35 at Southwell.

Punters looking for some bigger priced naps on Tuesday could opt to side with the Peter Bowen-trained Lermoos Legend, who is a 50/1 outsider for the 13:00 at Southwell and is the best of fourth placed tipster Andrew Bladen from the Wolverhampton Express & Star, while the 20/1 chance Forrard Away is the best bet of Brian Flanagan from the Irish Daily Star and that runner lines up in the 14:25 at Punchestown.
