Tuesday's racing bulletin
The Five Live selection is Celtic Jem in the 1710 at Hereford (all times BST).

Tuesday's racing schedule sees afternoon meetings at Great Yarmouth, Hereford and Musselburgh, while the evening cards are at Newton Abbot and Huntingdon.

The ground at Yarmouth is good to soft with good patches following 1mm of rain overnight.

The card looks extremely competitive but it is worth following Pinchbeck in the 1600, who is bidding to win the race for the second consecutive year.

Musselburgh has much faster conditions and is officially good to firm with good places.

Tony Culhane is riding well at present and he has five rides. Montara, in the 1450, looks his best chance of success.

Over the jumps at Hereford, the going is good to firm although the course has been watered intensely so the ground will be better than normal.

Champion jockey Tony McCoy has three rides and the best of those is Celtic Jem in the 1510.

McCoy has a good strike rate for trainer Peter Bowen and this gelding has improved dramatically each time he has run.

He would only need to improve fractionally on his recent second at Worcester to win this race.

It's Countryside Day at Huntingdon, where all six races are limited to amateur riders. The ground is good to firm and action is sure to be fast and furious.

The fast ground should suit Hot Plunge in the 1745, who threw his chance away last time when left at the start.

The ground is also good to firm at Newton Abbot, where Andreas looks a certainty in the 1900.
