Today's tips: Futuramic can get off mark

The midweek racing action moves to Down Royal this afternoon, where Futuramic can secure a maiden victory over fences when he contests the two-and-a-half-mile beginners’ chase on the seven-race programme.

Andrew Lynch’s lightly raced nine-year-old ran a superb race to pick up the runner-up spot behind RSA fancy No More Heroes on his seasonal debut, but was a shade disappointing when a modest fifth behind Outlander on his next start.

However, running in his first handicap chase, he put up a fine effort to finish eighth in the ultra-competitive Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting.
