Doncaster selections Sunday 17th September The final day at Doncaster and it is a slightly low key one, this meeting having been transferred from its usual Wednesday slot. There is the interest of the Leger Legends race, however it is not much of a betting medium, so it is...

Baradar back for more at Doncaster
Doncaster selections Friday 15th September The second day on Town Moor and the quality steps up a further notch with a couple of Group 2 contests and some more top level handicaps. It is those handicaps that are of most interest this afternoon. Headline selection Ching Shih was placed...
Ching Ching – let’s look for a winner to kick off Leger week
Doncaster selections Thursday 14th September A later start to the week this year at Doncaster with the usual Wednesday card now shuffled back to Sunday. An eight race card kicks things off today, although from my perspective the interest is held back until much later in the afternoon. Doncaster...
Adjuvant can ring Ebor Bell
York selections Saturday 26th August The final day at York and the first one where we cannot be absolutely guaranteed fast ground with heavy showers forecast. At the time of writing mid-morning though, none have arrived, so the likelihood is that we will still be getting quick times. My...
Sell up to Nunthorpe task
York selections Friday 25th August Onto Day Three at York and the feature event is a fascinating clash for the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes, arguably Britain’s premier 5f event of the year. We have colts against fillies, older horses against the 3yo’s and even a 2yo and a big...
Warm can take advantage of the sunny weather
York selections Thursday 24th August Day Two at York and the times of the races yesterday confirmed that fast ground very much is prevailing on the Knavesmire currently. With conditions largely set fair for Thursday then horses capable of handling fast ground will be very important once more. I...
The name’s Bond, Intrinsic Bond
York selections Wednesday 23rd August The latest of the big Festivals, the Ebor meeting at York begins on Wednesday. There is plenty of quality in the group races, but for betting entertainment it is the quantity in the handicaps that catches my interest. I have selections for the first...
Taking a Liberty for Goodwood finale
Goodwood selections Saturday 5th August It is the final day at Goodwood and a wet one again, but not quite as wet as perhaps initial forecasts predicted. That said I am still expecting conditions on the slow side and I have taken that into account for the four races...
Party time at Galway
Goodwood & Galway selections Thursday 3rd August The two big Festival meetings reach the halfway stage on Thursday. At Goodwood we perhaps have the lowest profile day of the week but a couple of 3yo handicaps catch the eye. At Galway the feature event is the Galway Hurdle which...
An Ambition for Galway
Goodwood and Galway selections Wednesday 2nd August Day Two at Goodwood and the weather is expected to be wild and windy on the Sussex Downs. It might be worth taking on some of the favourites in the circumstances. I have selections for three races, whilst at Galway we have...
