Punters can shine over the bookies at Hexham in the Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap Hurdle (5.25).
The David Pipe-trained NIBRAS GOLD has taken well to hurdling following his switch from the Flat.
The four-year-old gelding won two staying handicaps over a mile and three-quarters on the level last season for trainer Ismail Mohammed and has looked the part over the obstacles since joining Pipe. My selection was a close second on his hurdling debut at Ffos Las before comfortably landing a two-mile novice maiden hurdle at Worcester on his second start in May.
Last time out, on the same track, he was runner-up under a penalty to the useful Light N Strike. He should have further improvement to come as he makes his handicap debut in Tuesday's contest.
At Goodwood, BEAUTIFUL AISLING could complete a quickfire hat-trick when she runs in the 5f William Hill Scratch Of The Day Fillies’ Nursery (3.05) for trainers Simon and Ed Crisford.
The two-year-old daughter of Havana Gold won over the minimum trip at Beverley in mid-August then followed up over course and distance on her handicap debut at the end of last month. She carries a 6lb penalty for a short-head success over Tatterstall, but Harry Burns takes off 3lb with his claim and the filly is sure to be in the mix.
