AINTREE 1.22 - Veterans Chase - Class 2 - Mildmay Course - 3 Miles 1 Furlong - Going Soft (13 run) Most important to point out that this race is run on The Mildmay (Inner Course) and not The Grand National Course, I did have to double / treble check as given some of the runners I was convinced initially it was on The GN Course but Racing Post ...

Doncaster 4.05 Handicap - Class 3 - 7 furlongs - 16 run - Going - Soft > HeavyA very competitive race full of 7 furlong specialists most of whom can handle Soft Going.I've a view though it'll turn heavy by race time and after racing yesterday and earlier in the day the Track will be stamina sapping.At the head of the market both Tomfre and Brean...

ROBIN - Cheltenham 3.15 - Handicap Hurdle - Class 2 - 3 miles - 18 runA competitive race complicated by how soon the anticipated rain arrives, or not. I think though that we saw genuinely Good Going at Cheltenham yesterday and the longer in the day we get before rain the less likely it is to turn anything other than perfect Good to Soft Going.It's ...

Cheltenham 3.00 Handicap Hurdle - Class 3 - 2 miles 5 furlongs - Good to Soft - 20 run. I started with the weather forecast and although different opinions the ones I trust indicate possibly some heavy rain in mid morning, not enough to turn the Going heavy I think but I think "soft" will feature more heavily than it does now. The Old Course f...

CARLISLE 4.00 - Handicap Chase 2 miles 4 furlongs / Class 4 - 12 run - Good A competitive heat and one where favourite BANDSMAN has enough question marks currently to be far from bombproof. If returning to full form and fitness would be a very warm order, so if you want a cheeky win saver, feel free. My concerns are both the drop in trip and a...

A couple of decent enough placed efforts from the 3 selections yesterday. Ulterior Motives ran on to be third at Kelso and looked like a horse to keep a close eye on, certainly a couple more furlongs and heavy Going should see it find a race. I always have a close look at any 66/1 winner to see if we missed something, on this occasion it would...

No doubting the highlight yesterday both on the Track and also in terms of some profit was FRODON, a stunning brave classy performance. The fact that "the greatest trainer" PFN mentioned The Gold Cup as a target has shocked some, personally, why not??..the Horse is going to be lumping weight around in Handicaps so why not go off level weights again...

A disappointing day yesterday, I know that Ian was banking on some heavy morning rain that never arrived, clearly the race panned out to suit those more suited to the advertised conditions and none of the selections was really in contention up the hill although Whatsupwithyou ran on in to 7th and may be one to follow. Certainly with a couple m...

A couple more placed horses yesterday but no winner to celebrate, not a bad day but we move on to the day of the first Cheltenham Meeting of the 2020/2021 season. It seems an eternity since the 5 days of the March Festival, and the debate about the fact Crowds were allowed at that Meeting rage on.  We have always seen Friday;s w...

A decent enough day at Fontwell yesterday, eventually! Waikiki Waves toiled for much of its race but grabbed a 4th place that a few may have been paid out on if taking the offer from SkyBet that we highlighted, although I'm not 100% sure if non runners would have affected that. We had a non runner in the 4.23 race (The Premier Celtic) but...
