Newsboy's horse racing tips for Monday's five meetings

BETWEENTHESTICKS is fancied to rack up a third course-and-distance success by outpointing eight rivals for the Tips For Every Race At Handicap (8.30) at Wolverhampton..

The Ruth Carr-trained four-year-old has had four races over Dunstall Park’s five furlongs, winning two and going under by a neck and a head in third in another.

The latest of five career victories came in an apprentice handicap at this evening’s venue a week ago, when Aidan Keeley’s mount got the better of Blue Force by a head.

That run was my selections’s third visit to the track in the care of Carr and, unpenalised on a British Horseracing Authority mark of 62, Betweenthesticks is 19lb beneath his peak rating when with Jack Channon.

At Plumpton, TIME TO BITE has plenty going for him in the Back British Farming Handicap Chase (2.55).

After 141 days off games, the fitness of Chris Honour’s nine-year-old had to be taken on trust.

But, after scoring at Newton Abbot in May, Time To Bite - Bryan Carver’s mount was victorious at Plumpton back in February - chased home Riskintheground at Fakenham 13 days later.

That was a fair effort - the Dan Skelton-saddled winner competed from a mark of 116 that day and is now on a figure of 133.
