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...

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....
