Tuesday's racing bulletin
The Five Live selection is Standin Obligation in the 1850 at Towcester (all times BST).

Tuesday's racing comes from Folkestone, Southwell and the evening fixtures come from Towcester and Brighton.

The battle between trainers Martin Pipe and Paul Nicholls continues at Towcester where both have one runner.

Oracle Des Mottes in the 1720 is the Nicholls representative while Standin Obligation is the Pipe runner in the 1850.

Pipe leads Nicholls by over £30,000 in the championship, which concludes on Saturday, and he looks to have the best chance of success at Towcester, where the ground is good to soft.

Standin Obligation was a decent point-to-pointer and looked a useful recruit when winning easily at Exeter a week ago.

There is turf racing at Southwell where the ground is officially good to soft.

Polar Magic in the 1630 never stopped improving last season and looks a good bet to get this campaign off to a successful start.

The ground at Folkestone is going to be very testing indeed and is described as soft with heavy places.

Byo in the 1515 will handle the ground and can follow up his success at Southwell last time out.

The ground at Brighton is good despite two millimetres of rain overnight.

Misbehaviour will have plenty of support in the 1835 because he is the last runner for trainer Tom McGovern before he retires aged 73.

The meeting at Newcastle was called off on Monday because of a waterlogged track.
