Listowel - KERRY NATIONAL 4.25 - 3 miles - 18 run - Good to Yielding This is a sharp left handed track and one of the easier 3 miles to get if the ground rides Good or better. It can get testing though with any hint of Soft and very few of these have proven 3 mile form. All eyes will be on Elliott and especially his 3 at the top of the ma...

Goodwood 4.02 Class 4 - Handicap - 1 mile 1 furlong - 14 run - Going Good A fair few in here who seem out of form or not particularly well handicapped. I narrowed it down to 3 of major interest. Mark Johnston always one to look at closely here but I think that Dream With Me just needs 4 or 5lbs off the handicapper now having won off ...

Hamilton 3.22 Veterans Handicap - Class 4 - 1 mile 4 furlongs - 12 run - Soft / Heavy A tight little race but not too many with proven stamina or proven form in soft going. Watersmeet caught the eye on the stamina front but better at further and awful record on anything softer than Good and increasingly kept to AW tracks too. The win...

Our Northern Expert will focus on both the SILVER and GOLD CUPS. 2.30 SILVER CUP - Class 2 - 6 Furlongs It remains to be seen what impact the rain has on the Draw bias as yesterday was significantly slanted in favour of those drawn lower. As I mentioned on Thursday though, things can change here very quickly and pace is a better way in if...

Ayr 3.20 Bronze Cup - Class 2 - 6 furlongs - 24 run - Good to Firm - (Showers)  There is a bit of rain forecast but mostly after this race so we'll base assessment on Good / Good to Firm Going.  The visual impression yesterday from a couple of races was that the centre may be marginally the best draw, followed by the far side (l...

A mixed day yesterday with the 2 Irish selections running very poorly, as indeed did many of Elliotts horses although the mentioned Mullins horse Brahma Bull did finish runner up at big odds. Much better at Goodwood where the confidently tipped SWEET REWARD won at 9/1, probably benefitting when its main rival drifted into it but push...

There are some days when in hindsight any Tipster may look back and think they should have left alone and not tipped for the sake of delivering something. I think yesterday was in that category and whilst our Northern Expert has done exceptionally well, if the ammo is not there on a specific day, best not to push luck or cloud what seems to be soun...

There are plenty of runners on both Irish Cards but they look incredibly tricky and too much a case of guesswork. Some decent action in the UK too but the only really decent Handicap to attack is the Veterans Race at Hamilton over a mile and a half on soft / heavy Going.

An excellent 1-2 for Staxton at 25/1 SP (advised 28/1) and Soldiers Minute at SP 18/1 (advised 18/1) in the Silver Cup yesterday, a nice Forecast for those that play that bet of £380.19 and I've had a few mails about some Tricast Perms that permed the reserve (Magical Spirit) who was 4th beaten a neck. We were unable to repeat the result...

Danzan ran very well yesterday to get a place in the Bronze Cup, just swallowed up in a blanket finish but one of the few all day to place off a double figure Draw on the straight track. There has been rain at Ayr yesterday afternoon/evening but informed sources suggest not as heavy as some have indicated on social media. The Going has been am...
