Jump Racing
Cheltenham selections Sunday 16th November The final day of the Cheltenham November meeting and the Sunday provides the traditional feature of the Greatwood Hurdle. Rather like the Paddy Power yesterday, the race probably lacks a horse that could improve into Grade 1 company during the season, but the race...
Doncaster, Aintree & Wincanton selections Saturday 8th November We finally wave goodbye to the flat season at Doncaster this afternoon (at least on turf) with the traditional final meeting run on traditionally heavy November ground. I have two selections who will have no issues with the testing going. Elsewhere...
Ascot & Wetherby selections Saturday 1st November The jumps season really starts to take precedence now as we move into November and we have three really big meetings to get stuck into. Down Royal provides the first Grade 1 action of the winter, but I am concentrating on a...
Cheltenham selections Saturday 25th October Cheltenham 1.10: Inox Allen & Newton Tornado A very tricky opener with very little chasing experience to go on. I have two suggestions in a wide open contest. INOX ALLEN does have a couple of chase outings to call upon, including a win on...

Goodwood & Galway selections Thursday 31st July I am going in early for just the one race, the opening contest at Goodwood on Thursday. Meanwhile at Galway it is time for the big hurdle race of the week and having once again saddled the winner of the Plate, Gordon...
Goodwood & Galway selections Wednesday 30th July The centrepiece races of the entire Goodwood and Galway festivals take place on Wednesday, with the Galway Plate looking well up to standard. I have two big selections for the featured chase. Whilst the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood also looks a cracker,...
Newbury and Market Rasen selections Saturday 19th July A rare wet day this summer, although it does not look as if the rain is as bad as forecast. Nevertheless, Market Rasen in particular could get softer for their big midsummer fixture. I have selections for the big two races...
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...
Sandown selections Saturday 26th April The scene is set for the final day of the British jumps racing season and as far as the big talking point is concerned, I can see no other outcome to the trainers title other than a comfortable success for Willie Mullins by afternoon...
