Horse racing tips January 17: Horses you must back at Lingfield, Newcastle, Chepstow
TONY MARTIN, one the smartest operators in Ireland, has found an ideal opportunity for GOOD TIME JONNY (4.00, nap) to open his account at Musselburgh.
Twice placed in smart bumper events at Leopardstown and Punchestown, the gelding can take advantage of the 10lb he receives from Chuvelo.
The Donald McCain-trained Chuvelo has come home hard-held in his two bumper victories but on both occasions he only beat donkeys.
After posting some smart performances in defeat, KINGSPLACE (2.15, nb) can put his head in front over hurdles at Chepstow.
Twice he has finished runner-up at this course when chinned by two smart individuals, New Age Dawning and Dickie Diver.
GETAWAY FRED (1.45, treble), an impressive on his penultimate start at this course in November, can return to winning form.
He was not disgraced on his recent outing at Kempton last month when third behind Fred when he had some smart rivals behind him.
