Chester, York & Haydock selections Saturday 31st May It is one of those in between weekends with no standout fixture in the lead up to Derby week. As a result I am spreading my selections across the three afternoon fixtures in Britain where there are still a good choice...
Goodwood selections Saturday 24th May Plenty of high quality cards on a busy day of racing on Saturday. The Curragh is the stand out fixture, but there are good bets to be had on a competitive card at Goodwood. I have selections for three races on the afternoon. We...
Newbury selections Saturday 17th May Newbury’s big flat day of the year sees the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes take centre stage. This year’s renewal looks an excellent one, even with the rarity of no representation from Aidan O’Brien. I have selections from four races on a strong card throughout....
York selection Friday 16th May The final day of three at York and today’s card looks particularly tricky. I am just going to focus on the one race today, the 10f handicap. Old Cock was a winner for us yesterday (advised 15/2). York 2.42: Tony Montana For one reason...
The Dante is the feature event of the day, and the week, on the Knavesmire, but the card on Thursday starts with two red hot handicaps and they are the races I am focussing on. Harbour Lake was a winner for us in the previous column on Saturday (advised...
Haydock & Ascot selections Saturday 10th May We have the best of both worlds today at Haydock with the one true remaining mixed fixture in the British racing calendar. The big betting races are over the hurdles and come up early in the afternoon and I have concentrated on...
Chester selections Friday 9th May The most exciting races of the big Chester meeting have largely been backloaded to the final day of the fixture and so the flagship race of the week, the Chester Cup is the race to concentrate on today. I have two selections for the...
Chester selections Thursday 8th May Chester’s big meeting of the year continues on Thursday and the two best handicaps are worthy of further attention. We had a cracking day on Sunday with the 1000 Guineas winner Desert Flower (advised 11/8) and Story Horse also winning (advised 15/2). Chester 1.30:...
Newmarket selections Sunday 4th May Newmarket 2.55: Wild Waves & Story Horse This handicap looks wide open despite only ten runners lining up, and two each-way bets looks the way to go. WILD WAVES was a progressive stayer last season and there should be more to come from this...
Newmarket selections Saturday 3rd May The new flat season really kicks into top gear today with the Guineas meeting at Newmarket featuring the first classic of 2025. It is difficult to look past the favourite, who was so impressive at the Craven meeting here, so instead I am focussing...
