There are three runners from my list to follow in the 12.50 at Carlisle, the Sue Smith pair of Coe and Auroras Encore and Netherley trained by Donald McCain. Netherley is a big horse and has been off the track for a while but if race fit he ...

It was a bleak mid winter day for my horses to follow list today with only Master Medic, (pictured below) not for the first time, coming to the rescue. In the hope that things can only get better let’s have a look at the ...

I am short of time tonight so I will just have a quick spin through the Ascot card. 12.45 – I have fallen foul of a few Paul Nicholls trained beaten favourites just lately but I will try one more here in Fistral Beach. He probably bumped into a ...

The jumps racing tomorrow comes from Ayr and Plumpton. It is fairly low key stuff but I have picked out a couple of races to look at, one from each meeting. Three of the 8 runners in the 1.55 at Ayr carry penalties after winning their last ...

Today’s racing lost much of its interest with the abandonment of Cheltenham and Lingfield. There was one winner from my list to follow though thanks to Merigo at Doncaster. Clearly suited by conditions he jumped and stayed well and there should be more to come from him over ...

In the opener at Cheltenham tomorrow (12.15) Balzaccio looks the value each way bet. He probably didn’t beat a lot when winning at Haydock last time but he looks the sort to improve with experience. Punchestowns was very impressive when beating subsequent winner Ballydub and preferred to ...
