  Results went well for me today with 3 winners from 4 selections, including a couple at my lucky course Kempton at odds of 4/1 and 14/1. There is plenty of racing up and down the country tomorrow. Starting at Bath Spoken has an each way chance in ...

Allannah Abu was 2nmd at Brighton last time out and should go close in the Catterick 4.20. Paul Hannigan has the ride for trainer Sir Mark Prescott. At Kempton Byrony showed he handles the all weather surface when 4th over course and distance last time and has ...

I don’t have too many words of wisdom to offer on tomorrow’s racing. The consistent Royal Trooper has an each way chance in the Beverley 3.30. While at Yarmouth the veteran Caribbean Coral is ridden by Jamie Spencer in the 7.30 and may be worth considering. Course and distance ...

At Ayr tomorrow Layla’s Dancer might be worth considering in the 4.00.He was 4th at Doncaster last time out in a race that has worked out quite well. His only win to date was on soft ground so the predicted rain would be a help. A change of jockey ...

The big handicap today is the John Smith’s “Magnet” Cup at York. Wigmore Hall is perhaps the obvious choice as he is 7 lbs “well in” at the weights – 10 lbs if you include his rider’s claim. He is the Pricewise selection which means that the value has probably ...

  The Newmarket July meeting has not been a happy one for me thus far but at least Lang Shining ended something of a losing run for me when winning tonight at Epsom. I will start tonight’s preview with a look at the Newmarket 2.35 which now has ...

The highlight of the Newmarket card tomorrow is a fascinating renewal of the Falmouth Stakes at 3.10. Looking back over the last 10 years the 3 year olds and their elders have shared the honours equally with 5 wins each. Strawberrydiquiri will be a tough opponent but I fancy the ...

There is not much of interest on the racing front tomorrow. The consistent Tropical Paradise has a chance in the Pontefract4.00. He does not have winning form on fast ground though and the trip is an unknown. Probably best watched. At Southwell the lightly raced Dandarrell has a ...

We had quite a few winners on Saturday, notably King of Wands at 8/1 stepping up to two miles in a Listed event at Sandown. Apparently he may go jumping with Evan Willaims in due course. I gave a favourable mention to Dangerous Midge who turned the Old Newton Cup ...
