Free horse racing tips for Tuesday, December 17 at Newcastle and Wincanton

The Punt nap

Hobb’s Delight (12.45 Wincanton)

The Neil Mulholland-trained eight-year-old is bred for fences and made a good chase debut two starts back. He couldn't match that on softer ground last time but looks set for a return to form on this better surface.

Eyecatcher

Rebecca's Girl (5.30 Newcastle)

Jason Hart's mount won in good style over this course and distance two starts back and should appreciate dropping back to 7f after getting caught close home over a mile last time.

Handicappers' nap

George Henry (1.45 Wincanton)

Looked to step up significantly on the level of his bumper form when finishing a close-up sixth in a deep-looking Exeter novice hurdle and this looks a decent opportunity to get off the mark under Jay Tidball.

West Country nap

Vaguely Royal (1.45 Wincanton)

Smart Flat performer who won well at this track in October. Unlucky last time and should continue to improve for Anthony Charlton.

Speed figures

King Arise (2.45 Wincanton)

Clocked a good time when narrowly beaten on chase debut. The winner that day has won again, so the form looks solid.

Dark horse 

Drakeholes (5.30 Newcastle)

An eyecatcher last time when running on for third in a slowly run contest and he should produce a big effort again.
