The first horse that I considered on tomorrow’s Newbury card was Miss Overdrive in the in the 12.25. She was a shade disappointing on her hurdling debit at Towcester and didn’t jump fluently. It may well be that stamina is her forte and she steps in trip tomorrow which may ...

There is nothing that really catches my eye at the UK meetings tomorrow. There are a few of interest at Naas but I won’t spend too much time on them as there is an inspection tomorrow morning and will all the rain about the meeting must be in some doubt. ...

The best meeting tomorrow is at Kempton with supporting cards at Ffos Las and Ludlow. Nicky Henderson introduces an interesting “new signing” in the novice hurdle at Kempton at 12.20 in the shape of the five year old Candy Creek. This mare won twice in 3 starts in bumpers ...
