I expect Derby winner Workforce to prove too good for Harbinger in the King George at Ascot tomorrow, although the form of the stable is a slight concern. The key to the 3.15 may lie with a race run over a furlong shorter at the same track ...

Not quite such a good day today but at the time of writing we have had a few successes. Looking forward to tomorrow Alsace Lorraine looks a good bet in the Ascot 3.20 from a stable bang in form. Field Day is unexposed and could give the favourite most ...

Saturday wasn’t a bad day on the tipping front with a couple of notable winners. I managed to tip the winner of the Super Sprint for the first time thanks to Temple Meads who naturally finished like a train! Just looking at his entry in that excellent book ...

This weekend is not one of my favourites on the racing calendar. I can’t say that the Super Sprint or the Summer Plate really appeal but there are plenty of meeting round and about so we will endeavour to dig out a winner or two. High Standing could get ...
