‘There is extra to come back and he can rating once more’ – Jason Heavey’s Tuesday ideas

An improving hurdler is the nap of the Daily Star Chief Tipster who also fancies two last-time-out winners to go in again at Wolverhampton

Punters can be certain that BETTER BE DEFINITE (3.35, nap) is a major player at Newcastle on Tuesday.

The gelding produced a career best to win in attritional conditions at Ayr three weeks ago, coming clear to win by 13 lengths. The success was a reward for his owners and trainer Nick Alexander who have had to be patient with the eight-year-old who missed more than a year through injury.

He handled the conditions really well at Ayr but he previously thrived on decent ground and he should find the drying good to soft surface at Gosforth Park more to his liking in the Get Raceday Ready Handicap Hurdle. Lightly raced for his age, there should be more to come and off a 7lb higher rating, he can score again.

JOIE MORE (4.05) catches the eye at Newcastle. He went into the notebook when running a good race at Carlisle and off bottom weight and with Sean Quinlan he is worth an each-way poke.

PORT NOIR (8.30) may have raced 104 times but the veteran is in great heart with two recent victories and she rocks up again at Wolverhampton. The mare has clicked with jockey Rose Dawes who gave her a canny ride to win 18 days ago over the track and trip. They have a big chance in the Midnite: Built For 2026 Not 2026 Handicap.

Blinkers sparked INITIAL BLUE (6.30, nb) into life when he made all under Rossa Ryan at Kempton. Despite a 7lb rise in the weights he is still fairly treated in the Make The Move To Midnite Handicap and if they can trap quickly and dominate the pace Richard Newland and Jamie Insole’s four-year-old can follow up.

GEMMARI (5.25, trb) is another improving type and an 8lb may not stop him and Sean level from combining for another success.
