Daily Racing Tips: A pair of Exeter bets

"As a punter I see AP McCoy as an asset, never to be ignored and certainly I make it a rule never to lay one of his mounts."

A pair of big names in the jumps game have attracted Carl's betting attention today

With plenty of rain about and two jumps cards we are certainly heading towards the National Hunt season. Nottingham stages the day's Flat card which I will not get involved with, given so much rain in the last 24 hours. The day is completed by Kempton under the lights but it is jumping that takes centre stage.

As we all know Tony McCoy is just a winning machine, who I am sure is getting better in the saddle. He has raised the bar to a new level and as a punter I see him as an asset, never to be ignored and certainly I make it a rule never to lay a McCoy mount. Intersky Music (2.20) was unlucky to meet a well handicapped rival last time at Fontwell, going down by under a length with the first two drawing well clear of the field. Despite having been put up six pounds I think this is a race he should win and under the McCoy drive is one to side with.

I fancy David Pipe to have a really good season and should add to his early tally with Talimos (2.50) who can follow up on a good win last time out at Fontwell. The headgear did the track that day and it will be employed again today. The ground seems ideal as does the step up in trip. With Talimos having so much in hand on official ratings I confidently make this the best bet of the day.
