Best horse racing tips TODAY: These big-priced Catterick and Newcastle fancies can land you a post-Christmas present

SUN Racing is back to give you some insight on big horses at even bigger prices.

Here, we try to find the value bets which could net you a tasty return from a small stake this Monday.

Longshot

ELIXER (12.55 Catterick)

The handicapper has given this seven-year-old a chance with a 4lb drop after he took a tumble at the final fence here last time. He was just a couple of lengths behind the leader at the time.

His best efforts have come at this specialists’ track and he has every chance of hitting the frame in what looks a modest contest.

Each-way Thief

ISKABEG LANE (2.32 Catterick)

Sue Smith’s chaser came back from 17 months off with a spin around Sedgefield earlier this month.

He was a fair fifth there and should be a lot fitter for the experience. He has run well on both starts at Catterick and has dropped to 4lb below his last winning mark.

CORKED (4.35 Newcastle)

She has been knocking at the door all winter and was a good second at Chelmsford last time.

She has gone close on her past four visits to Newcastle and dropping to a mile could do the trick.

Don’t forget, SunSport tipster Templegate has given a verdict on every race on Monday.
