Michael had a good look at the Clonmel card especially the 16 runner Handicap Chase at 3.15 and has sent the following observation. Clonmel 3.15 - it really is a tight top end market dominated by 4-5 in with some sort of chance and very little e... [Read More]

In the 2.50 at Wetherby AGE OF GLORY is a Course and Distance winner, runs off a nice mark and rain won't harm its chances. Fitness has to be taken on trust a bit but I doubt Brian Hughes would be up unless the Agent had been convinced the horse was ... [Read More]

Hereford 3.00 Posted: 13/11/2018 15:00
The 3.00 at Hereford is maybe the most competitive and trickiest puzzle of the day, I would not put anyone off a win saver on MISS MASH and to have that in a Tricast Perm. Picture Painter has had a Flat run could be on a nice mark but not 100% convin... [Read More]
