Today's Tips: Lieutenant looks poised to pull rank in Tipperary finale

The action returns to Tipperary this afternoon, where Lieutenant gets the nap to end the meeting on a high for punters.

The five-year-old showed promise on debut, at Cork, and built on that when runner-up to Prince D’Aubrelle on his most recent start, at the Galway Festival.

The winner, who benefitted from a shrewd ride that day, gave the form a boost when winning twice more in bumpers, including at this track on Sunday. Third-placed Diva Dawn has also been on the mark since, in a maiden hurdle, and fifth-placed Moylisha Tim won a bumper next time.
