At the time of writing we have had one winner today thanks to Sovereign Remedy. Tomorrow I am optimistic about the chances of Forte Dei Marmi in the 2.15 at Goodwood. This son of Selkirk has had 3 runs to qualify for a handicap mark and is the ...

Not much to comment on at the various meetings tomorrow. At Leicester I looked at Zero Money in the 8.10. He was well backed for his debut run at Salisbury last August but finished 3rd. He showed enough to suggest that he can win races though and the ...

Bath 4.30 – Peter Makin’s Mabuya was 2nd on his last start which was in a 7 furlong maiden at Goodwood. He makes his handicap bow tomorrow and should benefit from the step up in distance. Bath 5.00 – Dansimar was having her first run on the flat for ...

I was pleased with the performance of last year’s selections. Of those that have run, over 50% have won at least once either as juveniles or in the early part of their 3 year old campaign. Notable successes have been Green Agenda with ...

Clive Cox, Sir Michael Stoute and Henry Cecil all have their horses in top form at the moment and I fancy their runners in the 2.10 at York tomorrow. Electrolyser, Warringah and Walking Talking represent the 3 trainers and I can see the winner coming from that trio. ...

The Dante Stakes (2.40) is the centrepiece of the York card tomorrow and presents a less than straightforward puzzle as a case can be made for all 10 participants. J Murtagh has chosen to ride Freemantle rather than Black Bear Island and although jockeys get these things wrong sometimes, ...

I am short of time tonight but I will try and find a winner or two at York and Naas. Starting at the York where we have the opening day of the Dante meting there are a couple of horses I like in the 1.40. The giant ...

Yarmouth stages an interesting card tomorrow. In the 3.00 I am Gun For Sale may be worth a second look. He has been placed in his last couple of runs but in both he has raced too keenly. If he settles better tomorrow he would go close. ...
