Cheltenham Festival selections Thursday 17th March The Stayers Hurdle looks a wide open affair and Thursday’s highlight can go to the only mare in this year’s line up. From a punting perspective the best races all seem to come at the end of the card, so I am focusing...

Ahoy can greet winners enclosure
Cheltenham Festival selections Wednesday 16th March After a terrific opening day at Cheltenham, Wednesday brings perhaps the purists race of the week with the Champion Chase. It is a classic renewal too – but I think there is an overpriced contender as a decent each-way shout. Again we have...
Elliott set for bumper return to the Festival
Cheltenham Festival selections Tuesday 15th March Having been suspended for the 2021 Festival, Gordon Elliott is back for 2022 and has a raft of strong fancies for the opening day, including a big each-way fancy for the big race the Champion Hurdle. I have selections for four races on...
Four Cheltenham handicappers to follow
Whilst the headlines will be made in the Grade 1 contests throughout the week at Cheltenham, the success or otherwise of punters is more likely to be made by the various handicaps dotted across the programme. With six day entries now all in, here are four horses fancied to...
Cheltenham Gold Cup preview
We are a month away from the big jumps meeting of the year at Cheltenham and things have been shaping up nicely in recent weeks with regards to the Blue Riband contest, the Gold Cup. The starting point for the 2022 renewal has to be the contest from last...
Escobar to maintain fine Balmoral record
Ascot selections Saturday 16th October We have reached Champions Day, the final flagship meeting of the British flat season and we have an excellent programme of races, with the jockeys title also in some doubt. I have selections from four of the races on the card. Ascot 2.00: Creative...
Aday to remember at Longchamp
Longchamp selections Sunday 3rd October A very wet Arc day and the only thing that can be said with some certainty about the big race is that a foreign raider will take the prize. However I think the wet weather will turn the race in favour of one of...
Hoping for a Bad start to Arc weekend
Ascot & Longchamp selections Saturday 2nd October It is good to see the Saturday card at Longchamp strengthened with two Group 1 races on the day, rather than leave all the top class action to Arc day itself, where it could get lost in the shadow of the feature...
Great Arc memories – Dancing Brave 1986
The biggest race in Europe, the Prix De L’Arc de Triomphe is upon us again this weekend. The best middle-distance horses from Britain, Ireland, France and beyond meet up to effectively decide the 12f champion of the world. This year’s edition looks potentially above average, but whether the winner...
Rapid quick enough for Listowel chase
Listowel selections Friday 24th September Day number six at Listowel and another jumping card to get stuck into. The biggest race comes early with a typical big field valuable handicap hurdle, but perhaps the best bet comes later over fences. Our good run at the meeting continued on Wednesday...
