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.

Haydock & Musselburgh selections Saturday 19th April We are at the stage of the year now where we get into crossover territory between flat and jump racing and today I am looking at two races under both codes. A valuable flat card at Musselburgh and two legs of the...
Aintree selections Saturday 5th April A warm National day and an extremely classy renewal of the big race should offer an excellent highlight to the meeting. I have three fancies for the big race, headed by a novice who should love the drier ground. The supporting card is strong...
