United came back from a lengthy lay off with a determined win in a handicap hurdle at Haydock before Christmas and now looks to follow up in the 1.00 at Sandown tomorrow. She has recorded most of her wins on soft or heavy ground which she is unlikely ...

  With the temperature around the country unlikely to rise much above freezing we might be lucky if we start the year tomorrow with any jumps racing. Cheltenham stage a god card so let’s hope they beat the freeze. You can buy the CD of Singalongamaxmas on Amazon ...

  Planet of Sound is the first runner from my list to follow in action tomorrow. He runs in the Newbury 12.30. He has had a slight back problem since running at Sandown where he was 4th. This looks a tough little race where any one of the 5 ...

My list to follow is going through a lean time at the moment although Wind Instrument was a winner this afternoon. There are 5 runners from the list out tomorrow where my main hope is Neptune Collonges in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown (2.35). Although he makes ...

Horses to follow - 2008/9 jumps season

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

  Here is the main list of horses I will be following over the 2008/9 jumps season. As usual the list is large as I feel it helps to have a ‘core’ of horses to keep an eye on. I will be monitoring the fortunes of ...

Despite 3 winners from my list to follow it was not much of a Boxing Day for my tips. Over the years I have managed to find the winner of the Welsh National on a few occasions so here’s hoping. Halcon Generlardais is a big favourite of ...
