I won’t spend too long on tonight’s preview as the weather looks likely to disrupt the jumps racing. At Exeter the 4.15 looks to be between Copper Bleu and Shoreacres. I will give Copper Bleu the edge on the basis that the ground is more likely to suit him. ...

Folkestone has fallen foul of the weather but it looks as though Taunton will go ahead so we will have a look at some of the races on their card. I had hopes that Tara Taylor would be a horse to follow this season but thus far has been ...
