  There are a few potential improvers in the 4.45 at Doncaster. Dandino won quite nicely at Redcar last month and should run well but my preference is for the Henry Cecil runner Rigidity. He has only had two career starts, winning the second of them at Yarmouth last ...

At the start of the flat season I introduced a new feature called “handicap hints” with which I will be trying to pinpoint future handicap winners. The first three to go on the list were all taken from the Lincoln Handicap, Harrison George, Mia’s Boy and Mull of Killough. ...

  Master Rooney ran quite well at Beverley recently despite not being well drawn. He could go close in the Newcastle 4.10 tomorrow where Rebel Duke and Roker Park are others to consider. At Windsor my selections are Pekan Three (7.10) and Contredanse (7.40).

Solwhit, Medermit and Punjabi all try their luck after finishing down the field in the Cheltenham version while Dunguib, beaten when an apparent “certainty” at Cheltenham and Hurricane Fly returning from injury are other fascinating contenders. If Hurricane Fly ...

Our good run continues with a couple more winners from last night’s preview. At Fontwell tomorrow Latin America looks to have a lot going for him in the 2.20 and should record his first win of the season after a couple of seconds. It seems that most of ...

Today’s “best bet” Atlantic Tiger won at 5/2. In February Tajaarub beat Atlantic Tiger on the all weather at Lingfield. That was his only run to date and he looked to have plenty of improvement in him. He is my selection in the 3.45 at Catterick. My ...
