Slim pickings for Tuesday evening's racing with just two meetings in the balmy late sun. Nevertheless the Planet Sport tipsters are on hand to serve up some more juicy winners on June 27.
We'll start with some details on our selected horses, then you can get a full list of the tips across all the racecourses at the bottom of the page.

Planet Sport's racing live centre.
17:30 (Newbury) Mawkeb
Mawkeb offered more encouragement when staying on into third over 1m2f at Nottingham and a 2lb drop in the ratings combined with a stiffer test may be enough to see Mick Appleby's gelding return to winning ways.
Trojan Truth was somewhat underwhelming at the same venue a few days later, but he would hold leading claims on previous form and it's too soon to be writing him off.
Mrembo could have a say too.
17:50 (Newton Abbot) Max Of Stars
Max Of Stars had Uncle Matthew a couple of places behind her when runner-up at Hexham and it's hard to imagine that form could be overturned, even with the latter sporting a first-time visor and a reapplied tongue tie.
The chances of Ollie Pears' filly are aided further by the booking of champion jockey Brian Hughes and she should prove very tough to beat.
Kilcummin is rated 57 on the Flat and could get involved on his jumping bow. David Pipe's French recruit Waitara is also very much in contention.
18:20 (Newton Abbot) Farouk De Cheneau
They didn't see which way Farouk De Cheneau went at Fontwell, with the eight-year-old hosing up on his debut for Anthony Honeyball.
He has been hit with an 8lb rise but considering the manner of his victory, that's unlikely to stop him from making it a double.
The main danger might be recent Bangor victor Midnight Jewel, who can go well once more off 5lb higher, although Stormin Crossgales can't be ruled out.
18:40 (Newbury) Lady Of Leisure
Pink Satin made the perfect start to her career when triumphing at Windsor and the daughter of Churchill must warrant consideration. She may, however, struggle to concede 6lb to Lady Of Leisure.
Andrew Balding's filly posted a second-placed finish on her debut at Haydock and is taken to build on that.
Newcomer Balletic is a potential fly in the ointment and any market support is worth noting.
19:50 (Newbury) Dream Of Mischief
Amanda Perrett's Dream Of Mischief was an unlucky loser last time out and can make amends in the Custom Made Chairs By KC Sofas Handicap at Newbury.
A winner at Lingfield in September, he was gelded over the winter and ran better than his finishing position suggested at Goodwood first time out.
Last time he was dressed up with nowhere to go, as can so often happen at Goodwood, but once in the clear he rattled home to be beaten just half a length.
Raised just 1lb, he can go one better.
20:05 (Newton Abbot) Bala Brook
This can go the way of Bala Brook, who ran a highly encouraging race when second on his hurdling debut over course and distance.
The winner has gone in again since and Joe Tizzard's charge can get off the mark at the main expense of Songo, who returns to this sphere after a decent effort on the Flat at Goodwood.
Frankie Faulkner could be an interesting recruit for the Evan Williams stable.
20:25 (Newbury) Ring Of Light
Henry Candy's Ring Of Light was on a roll last autumn and can hopefully pick up where he left off in the Maurice Adams Memorial Handicap.
Three runs in novice company did not offer much hope, but he went close on his handicap debut off a lowly mark of 61.
It was not until September at Kempton he broke his duck and he has a handy habit of just doing enough.
He followed up at Wolverhampton off 67 and then Kempton off 70 and begins his new campaign off just 2lb higher.
Tuesday evening's selections:
NEWBURY: 5.30 Mawkeb, 6.05 Bint Havana Grey, 6.40 Lady Of Leisure, 7.15 Latin Verse, 7.50 Dream Of Mischief, 8.25 Ring Of Light, 9.00 Jax Edge.
NEWTON ABBOT: 5.15 Enthused, 5.50 Max Of Stars, 6.20 Farouk De Cheneau, 7.00 Heronord, 7.30 Moon King, 8.05 Bala Brook, 8.40 Junior Massini.
