  After a blank day on Monday I was quite pleased with today’s results. Cape Vale gave me a winner at the new track of Ffos Las thanks to Cape Vale who ended something of a losing run. Alicante was my other winner. He is on an upwards curve ...

  Woodsley House runs in the Ayr 4.00. He won for em earlier in the season at 20/1 so I have had my money’s worth out of him. He is a course and distance winner on soft ground so could not be ruled out. He is currently 2 lbs ...

I was reasonably pleased with today’s selections.  Most of them were in the first 3 and there were some winners from my list to follow as well. Archer’s Road has proved a profitable horse for yours truly and picked up some nice prize money today when 3rd in the ...

With plenty of rain about the going at many tracks around the country is likely to change and we need to factor that into any selections over the weekend. Starting with Haydock’s evening card Huntdown looks the obvious choice in the 8.10. If the heavens were to ...

  I didn’t have much luck with Casual Garcia the other day but I am going to put forward a couple more from the same stable that I hope will run better. Alicante (Hamilton 9.00) and Royal Diamond (Haydock 4.40) are both typical of the type of horse their ...

  Forgotten Voice is a horse I have followed with some success recently and he looks to have been found a winning opportunity tomorrow night in the 8.10 at Doncaster. If the ground were to ride really soft then Perks would be a big danger. Forgotten Voice is likely ...

  I am penning these notes on Tuesday morning as I am off to watch Macclesfield Town’s latest pre season friendly tonight. My selections didn’t fare too well yesterday. Northside Prince was brought down in the horrific pile up at Ayr, one of the worst accidents I have ever ...

  As usual I will concentrate on the chances of the runners from my list to follow. Starting at Ayr tomorrow we have Northside Prince in the 3.00 at Ayr. He has shown enough in his races to date to suggest that he can win a race. He ...

  There was very little between Sariska and Midday in the Epsom classic.  Midday was having her 7th race while Sariska had only raced 3 times before so perhaps you could argue that she has the more scope for improvement at The Curragh tomorrow.  I will go with Sariska ...

There are 3 runners from my list to follow in the 1.50 at Ascot. Espiritu ran a blinder when 4th in the Britannia Stakes and subsequent results indicate that was strong form. He wore a first time visor on that occasion and there is always the chance that ...
