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...
Fairyhouse selections Monday 21st April One of the big racedays in the Irish calendar as the Irish National takes centre stage for what is now day two at Fairyhouse. I have two selections for the big race, both hailing from the same stable. Headline selection Givemefive was a winner...

York selections Friday 23rd August Despite a wild and windy morning, conditions look set to continue on the fast side for day 3 at York, an afternoon highlighted by the Nunthorpe Stakes over the flying 5f. This looks set up nicely for the Australian raider to plunder the prize....
York selections Thursday 22nd August Following a wonderful first day at York will be tough today after the masterful performance of City of Troy and two course records. However whilst there might not quite be the brilliance of horses on show today, there is still Group 1 action in...
York selections Wednesday 21st August The opening day at York and we have a cracking start to the meeting with the biggest ever field assembled for the International Stakes. City of Troy is the one to beat, but I think there are several viable alternatives at an each-way price....
