My Way de Solzen could not have been more impressive on his chase debut at Lingfield and he will take some beating if lining up in the Grade 2 novice chase at Sandown (2.05) on Saturday. If he is an absentee then Paul Nicholl’s ex French New Little Bric who ...

The best jumps racing on Wednesday is at Ayr.
Astarador scored on his hurdles debut at Wetherby in the soft and stands a good chance of following up under a penalty in the 1.30.

This afternoon was largely disappointing from my point of view with most of the runners from our list to follow putting in below par displays. Killaghey Castle and Briareus are exempt from that criticism though as they fought out the finish of an excellent novice chase at Newbury. Briareus, 6th ...

There is some good quality racing at Newbury tomorrow. The beginners chase at 1.35 features 3 runners from our list to follow. Briareus won the Grade 2 Kingwell last season ...
