Sandynow is a horse I like and sets the standard in the Hereford 2.35. The main danger is likely to come from Gus Macrae who is trained by Rebecca Curtis, a trainer in good form lately. Somersby should have too many guns for his rivals in the 3.05 although ...

I see that Tony McCoy has 3 outside rides at Ffos Las tomorrow. The two he rides for trainer Rebecca Curtis look quite interesting. Praxiteles (1.55) is particularly well bred and showed promise on his hurdles debut. He should go well. Black Jack Blues is a dual bumper winner and ...

I will start tonight’s preview with the Ascot 2.05 where Cheltenham Festival winner Whiteoak has the best form in show. She is yet to win on soft or heavy ground however so it is as always worth bearing in mind the ground conditions tomorrow. On good or good top soft ...

Paul Nicholls has a strong team out at Taunton tomorrow where Express Leader (2.30) and Qozak (3.00) should both go well. Wishfull Thinking, rerouted from Newbury’s abandoned meeting today will present a significant danger in the 2.30.
