  Sadly Newcastle’s Eider meeting has already fallen by the wayside but hopefully Kempton will go ahead. The big betting race at Kempton is the Racing Post Chase at 3.05. Last season’s winner Nacarat lines up again and with Tony McCoy on board will no doubt have his supporters. ...

Court in Motion was an unlucky loser at Exeter and can gain compensation in the 2.10 at Warwick.  Sandynow is a course winner and should appreciate the conditions and could be worth a small each way saver in the same race.

Hidden Keel gave us a winner today and I really should have had another with Chief Dan George who was certainly “findable” in the veteran’s chase at Doncaster. These races bring together plenty of old favourites and are a really nice idea. In the Doncaster race today were Trabolgan (winner ...

Both my selections today finished second, Dansimar at 14/1 and Pennek at 9/4. Former bumper winner Premier Sagas got off the mark over hurdles at Market Rasen last month and seems to be going the right way. At around 5/1 he looks worth a small interest in the 1.30 ...

  Most of my selections ran well on Saturday and we had  a few decent winners. There are just a couple of horses to watch out for up at Carlisle if the meeting gets the go ahead. Premier Sagas in the 2.00 and the unraced  Rocks Rule in ...

Tomorrow’s racing is very much at the mercy of the weather yet again with inspections taking place up and down the country. Haydock stages the Blue Square Gold Cup at 3.35 which looks a competitive affair. The first six home in the Welsh National run at Christmas are all ...

  Here are the next 10 of the horses that caught my eye during the 2009 turf season. 30 Kite Wood was trained by Michael Jarvis as a juvenile but purchased by Godolphin for his 3 year old career after winning the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Ascot. ...

Well, we had the biggest shock result of the 21st century so far with 1/14 shot Zaynar turned over at Kelso. The winner, Quetwo, a massive individual that will be better still once he goes over fences, is a horse I have always liked and is certainly going to be ...
