Captain Wessex brings you his top tips from Tuesday's race meetings
Pertemps Networks is a confident selection to follow up a sound reappearance with victory in the Play Golf At Southwell Golf Club Handicap on Tuesday.
Trained by the redoubtable Mick Easterby, the four-year-old has yet to win on the all-weather but clearly handles the Fibresand at this Nottinghamshire venue.

The Golden Snake gelding has been second on three of his starts here, including last month when having his first run since April.
Always handy, it was encouraging to see him fight back when headed by eventual winner Brave Mave and as that run can only have brought him on fitness-wise, he has to go close with the extra two furlongs unlikely to be a negative.
Silent Wonder finally got off the mark here on his last run after more than his fair share of seconds on turf and has every chance of winning again in the southwell-racecourse.co.uk Nursery.
Sent off at 1-4, he was obviously entitled to win as he did but it will have served as a nice confidence-booster and he is the one to beat back over course and distance.
Irish Pearl is another who handles this surface particularly well and she should give a good account in the southwell-racecourse.co.uk Handicap.
The Karl Burke-trained three-year-old is two from two on Fibresand and did not appear suited by the switch to Polytrack at Great Leighs for the last outing.
Forgive that and there is every reason to support her again, not least as she is dropped back to the minimum trip, a distance her style of running suggests will suit.
Monkey Glas has generally kept much better company on the sand than the Call 01636 814481 To Sponsor A Race Claiming Stakes.
He made the most of a drop into this grade when repelling I Confess at Lingfield last month on his first start since July.
Expected to be much sharper for that run, he should be more than good enough to strike again, and also to hold his own in better races should he step back up in class.
Gay Kelleway's horses have been a little quiet but she enjoyed a winner at Lingfield on Sunday and with that in mind there is every chance the lightly-raced Fortunella will be on the mark in the Membership At Southwell Golf Club Handicap.
Sound Accord can finally strike gold over fences at the third time of asking in the Tiana Honey Watson Memorial Fund Beginners' Chase at Fontwell.
David Arbuthnot's charge has let himself down with a couple of jumping slips on his first two chase starts, most recently when beaten into third by Rustarix.
Given that the winner has subsequently gone on to take a competitive event at Sandown, Sound Accord's form looks the strongest on offer.
Belon Gale can strike for Howard Johnson in the Sendrig Construction Maiden Chase at Sedgefield.
The five-year-old, a half-brother to the smart Idle Talk, has only had two starts under rules.
One was an inauspicious debut behind According To Pete at Hexham but he showed masses of improvement last time at Newcastle when beaten just less than four lengths.
That was a decent little race and that he could get so close was encouraging enough to suggest he will be winning a race of this calibre.
