  Lang Shining was quite a high profile horse at Sir Michael Stoute’s yard at one time but never quite fulfilled his early promise there. A change of stable and a drop in class has led to a very successful campaign for him in 2010. His win at Kempton ...

  September has been quite a fruitful month for us and last night’s preview yielded a couple more winners thanks to Harlestone Times and Regal Park. Tomorrow’s racing looks difficult. Housepoint is related to several winners and is dropped back in trip to 7 furlongs after finishing well ...

Red Lover is well thought of at home and should be all the better for a course and distance run at Newbury 10 days ago when he contests the 3.10 at the Berkshire track tomorrow. Towbaat is a bit better than his form figures suggest and would have a ...

  I will start tonight’s preview at Ascot although from a punting point of view I suspect that the better value is to be had in the North West at Chester and Haydock. The Ascot card kicks off with a big field mile handicap at 1.55. Sajjhaa could ...

  Tomorrow sees the start of the Ascot Festival meeting and I will start tonight’s bulletin there. The first race, the 2.00 is a nursery, that is a handicap for 2 year olds. I have been following Byrony who is trained by Richard Hannon and the horse has now ...

I don’t have a particularly strong view on tomorrow’s racing but I will just point out a handful of horses of interest. Staring at Pontefract in the 2.30 Jade has shown some promise for up and coming trainer Ollie Pears. He will stay further than this 6 furlongs in ...
