Barney Daniels selections for Tuesday. Lucky Barney is down there for a couple of days.

1:30 Cue Card - his presence gives good value to the next 6 or so in the betting, so I don't think I'll be backing him (may go Dunraven Stormat at a very nice price) but I don't see him getting beaten.
2:05 Ghizao - only gone against Medermit due to C&D form but it looks like a sub-standard Arkle to me.
2:40 Wolf Moon - nothing I really fancy in this so I'm using a tip from a friend. There has been plenty of recent money for this and it is now as low as 14s in places.
3:20 Peddlers Cross - I can see any of the first three in the betting winning this but I'm staying loyal to McCain's unbeaten star.
4:00 Garde Champetre - beaten last year when a warmer favourite than now but the opposition isn't great, so Nina may win again. My alternative would be Poker de Sivola but no course experience may rule him out.
