Paul Nicholls supplied me with a couple of winners today thanks to Pepperoni Pete and the hugely impressive Kauto Star, and there were promising runs from most of our other list horses.  I was also pleased that Miss Mitch who was featured in last nights preview was also a winner. ...

It was not at all a bad day for our list to follow with wins for Ungaro (11/8), Blue Splash (5/2), Taranis (4/5), Glenfinn Captain (9/4), Bleak House (3/1) and Mostashaar (7/2).    Taranis was well in at the weights on his chase form and he was confidently ridden by ...

With the turf season drawing to a close those back end maidens for 2 year olds are worth watching as they often throw up horses to follow for next season.    The 2.00 has a few juveniles worth noting.  Limbo King made an encouraging debut when 3rd at the Berkshire track ...

There were a few winners from the horses featured last night.  Iktitaf got his hurdling campaign off to a winning start in the listed contest at Punchestown but Leading Run was made to work harder to maintain his 100% record on the same card.    Galactic Star kept the flat list ...

A couple of horses featured in last nights preview, Exmoor (3rd at 15/2) and Height of Fury (2nd at 17/2) would have repaid each way support today.    There are meetings in the UK tomorrow.  In the 2.00 at Bath Hughie Morrison’s Duty Free can be expected to come on for ...

There is so much racing these days that catching up with all that has been happening is tough after you have been out of circulation for a few days.    Our list to follow has had a few successes over the last week.  Alambic is top of the flat “leaderboard” ...

The main flat action tomorrow is at York where there are a few runners from our list to follow.    Mutawaffer has not won for over 3 years now and although he should handle the ground in the 2.20 at York he is difficult to fancy.  Our other runner in this ...

My main hope at Nottingham today was the Godolphin maiden Seabow who built on his recent second at the Midlands track with a comfortable win.  Another runner from our list to follow, Galactic Star was 2nd and as this was after an absence of a year this one should be ...
