Tuesday's racing bulletin

The Five Live selection is Hot Shots in the 1550 at Huntingdon (all times BST).

Britain's leading hope at the forthcoming Breeders' Cup meeting, Rakti, is almost certain not to make the line-up for the Breeders' Cup Classic, according to his trainer Michael Jarvis.

The colt was brilliant in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot recently but would not be suited by the tight turns at Lone Star racetrack and will instead head to Hong Kong.

Racing on Tuesday comes from Catterick, Huntingdon and Stratford.

Report: Dettori stretches lead

Kieren Fallon is now eight winners behind Frankie Dettori in the jockeys' championship following the Italian's double at Windsor on Monday.

Dettori is without a ride today, while Fallon travels to Catterick for the three rides.

Fallon's best chance of success is My Princess in the 1440.

Tony McCoy has four rides at Huntingdon and will be getting down to near his minimum weight to partner Winsley in the 1550.

McCoy obviously thinks the horse has a good chance but he may struggle to cope with the consistent Hot Shots.

Mark Pitman's horse is better known as a chaser but still has the speed to win over the smaller obstacles. The horse always runs well fresh, so the fact that he has not run for over 160 days is not a problem.

The racing at Stratford upon Avon does not look particularly inspiring with no more than nine runners in any race. It looks a day for favourite-backers with Saby in the 1430 and Silencio in the 1700 the stand-out selections.
