Tuesday horse racing summary

Folkestone, 1:20
DOCTORED stormed clear in an amateur riders handicap over C&D last time and may be able to defy an 8lb rise. The main dangers look to be Prophete De Guye and Atahuelpa, although it would be no surprise if Drizzi got much closer to the selection than he did last time.
Back to win - Doctored Result: 3rd

Folkestone, 1:50
Look out for a better effort from Amir El Jabal, who ran much his best race over fences back from a break on last season's chasing debut when still in front when falling at the last in a Huntingdon handicap chase. However, preference is for LAHARNA, who won this year's renewal of that same Huntingdon race last time and, with a 6lb rise fair enough, will have very strong claims if reproducing that form in a lesser race here. Encouragingly, Laharna ran a good race in one previous run here too.
Back to win - Laharna Result: unplaced

Folkestone, 2:20
A handful of interesting runners, though couldn't be confident about the outcome with much depending on how the hurdles newcomers jump and how much improvement some of the lightly raced ones find. Psi and hurdles newcomers Ronaldo des Mottes and Gofannon are well worth considering but tentative preference is for SILK AFFAIR, quite decent on the Flat (including on soft) and who ran with some promise on last month's hurdles debut at Kempton.
Back to win - Silk Affair Result: no bet, value price not available
