With the flat season not yet in full swing and the jumpers waiting for Aintree there is not much to comment on tomorrow. I will just put forward a couple of suggestions. On the flat it might pay to follow Ben’s Dream in the Kempton 8.20. He ...

I have experienced the ups and downs of the tipping game over the weekend. After having a miserable time of it on Saturday there were winners aplenty this afternoon with Palace Moon (6/1) on the flat and Touch of Irish (5/6) , Classic Cut (5/2) and Nearby (6/1) ...

There is not much that appeals at Doncaster tomorrow, although Palace Moon did catch my eye in the 4.15. He didn’t appear as a juvenile but showed promise in all of his 3 runs last year as a 3 year old. He seems to have more scope than some of ...

As the new flat season kicks off tomorrow the logical place to begin tonight’s preview is with the Lincoln handicap which is the Doncaster 3.55. My long tern fancies for this, the first big handicap of the new season have been Charm School and Expresso Star, both trained ...

Small fields are the order of the day at Taunton tomorrow where the ground is likely to be on the fast side. In the 3.00 I am inclined to oppose the Paul Nicholls trained favourite with either Rockiteer or Schindler’s Son. Rockiteer comes into the race on ...

Peter Pole absolutely hacked up at Exeter on his UK debut and it seems unlikely that a 7 lbs penalty will stop him from going in again at Southwell tomorrow in the 2.15. Another horse to keep tabs on in this race is Paradise Regained who has impressed ...

Of the horses featured in last night’s preview Glencree ran with credit in second while Joker’s Legacy was a winner at long odds on. Neither of the Irish selections ran. Not much of interest tomorrow. First Avenue should be up to winning over hurdles. He goes in ...

Huntingdon 2.40 – Glencree was an Irish point to point winner and an expensive purchase by Andrea and Graham Wylie. He put a rules debut flop behind him when winning a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh at the end of November. He handles a sound surface and has scope ...
