Seeing that Cheltenham is just around the corner we have some half decent racing on offer over the jumps tomorrow. There may be some pointers to the Grand National tomorrow as a few of the leading contenders for the Aintree Spectacle are on show. Last ...

It hasn't been the most successful of weeks on here and Accordion Man was the latest sufferer, beaten a neck at Southwell. There are 2 runners from our list to follow tomorrow, both at Taunton. Super Nick has sound claims in the 3.30, while Master Overseer represents David Pipe ...

Isn't That Lucky was a winning tip from last night's preview and at 10/1 as well. There were a few losers too but let's not dwell on those. Isn't That Lucky looks one to follow in the long term as he should make a chaser next season. I thought ...

In the bumper at Ayr at 4.50 I quite like Katapult who won well at Catterick on his debut. The last race on the Ayr card is a hunter chase at 5.20 which ...
