If you watched The Morning Line on Saturday you will have noted that Richard Hoiles gave Mistoffelees as his charity bet and the 4 year old won at 4/1 for his inexperienced rider. The horse looks one to follow and it will be interesting to see how he gets on ...

The success in the Stewards’ Cup seems a long time ago now as we are suffering from something of a losing run. Villefranche is a nice little bay in the South of France with a decent restaurant near the sea front that does wonderful salads. Michael Bell introduces the ...

Another rather ordinary days racing tomorrow. At Goodwood the 3 year olds Spoken and Botanist make most appeal in the 7.35. Spoken is going for a hat trick of wins. He is not surprisingly going up in the weights but may still be ahead of the handicapper. Botanist ran ...

The racing is fairly mundane stuff at the moment. There are plenty of meetings though if you simply must have a bet! Fastnet Storm is the sort of handicapper that pops up occasionally at rewarding odds. He runs at Beverley in the 4.20 but on recent form he would ...

After a remarkably unsuccessful day on the tipping front things can surely only get better! There are plenty of race meetings tomorrow although not a lot of quality. At Brighton in the 3.30 Aestival could get back to winning ways while in the 6.00 at Folkestone the consistent Dungannon ...

I will start tonight’s preview at my lucky track of Kempton Park. Hamloola showed some promise in what was probably a weak back end maiden last November running on into 3rd place. It is a bit of a concern that she her reappearance has been delayed until August but she ...
