Tuesday Racing Tips: Timeform have three to back at Newcastle, Galway and Wolverhampton

Newcastle, 13:26 - 'Horse In Focus' Luminaries to continue winning streak

6

Luminaries (Ire)

• J: Sean Quinlan
• T: Ewan Whillans
• F: 99-077211

• SBK 10/3
• EXC 4.3

The thriving Luminaries is taken to complete an October hat-trick now back over fences.  

The Ewan Whillans-trained nine-year-old has a fine record on left-handed courses that aren't too demanding, with three of his wins coming here.  

He had been edging down the weights for some time before his recent resurgence at Kelso and Southwell (with blinkers on) and this BHA mark of 82 still looks lenient given his current mood and back catalogue of winning form.

Galway, 14:55 - Curragh fourth Spacebound the one to beat

1 (9)

Spacebound

• J: P. McGettigan
• T: Daniel McLoughlin, Ireland
• F: 22454

• SBK 11/4
• EXC 3.1

Spacebound wasn't seen to best effect when fourth in a big-field handicap at the Curragh last time and he can build on that recent effort to open his account.

The Daniel McLoughlin-trained gelding picked up both the 'Horse In Focus' and 'Sectional' flags on the back of that performance, having helped force too demanding a gallop.

With a first-time-hood on here, and the ground to suit once more, he can break his maiden tag with a more patient ride.

Wolverhampton, 17:00 - Fast-finishing Ambience can go one better

1 (6)

Ambience

• J: David Egan
• T: Kevin Philippart de Foy
• F: 62

• SBK 6/4
• EXC 2.2

Preference is for the well-bred Ambience, who shaped well (picking up the 'Horse In Focus' and 'Sectional' flags), when runner-up to the well-bred Quintana on her second start in a C&D novice last month.  

Kevin Philippart de Foy has his horses in good form at present and this expensive filly is out of a half-sister to the high-class 7f/1m winner Beat The Bank.

She can continue her progress to go one better.
