Chester 3.45 - Class 3 - Handicap - 1 mile 2 furlongs - Good to Soft - 14 run There are a few in here with very solid Course and Distance form and the only niggle is their high draw. Over this trip however I think they have time and space to sor... [Read More]

Goodwood - Thursday 23rd May Posted: 23/05/2019 17:30

York 3.35 Posted: 16/05/2019 15:35

Punchestown 6.05 -: A complex puzzle and not helped by a horse who I really like IFYOUCATCHMENOW being 2nd reserve, I think the simplest way to play him is a 1/2 point each way IF there are non runners and he gets in, staking late near the off t... [Read More]

Lingfield 2.40 6 Penny Poet / 4 Miskin - 1 point each way both.A trip just short of 12 furlongs and the Going will be a factor, especially if the forecast Thunderstorm arrives, if it doesn't we still have enough "soft" in the Going to feel comfortabl... [Read More]

Redcar 4.10 4 Restorer 1/2 point each way (SkyBet odds to 4th place)The best race of the day is the Zetland Handicap 10 Furlongs Class 2 and an open market. The connections of LEADERS LEGACY make it a warm favourite but it is more about potential and... [Read More]
