No luck with the two selections from day 1 with Korker blowing any chance at the start with a cigar moment in the stalls & Hot Fuss , who was very well backed finishing as all good each way bets do in 4th , rallying towards the finish having been headed. On a plus not …

York Day 1
1.50 A big field sprint handicap to kick off some top class racing. For me a low draw and one with some scope look the angles to play with going into this. Jm Jungle has the scope but a high draw somewhat puts me off. Intrinsic Bond has the low draw but one can hardly …
Saturday 19th August
1.50 Arrest is the current short priced favourite this evening and on ratings it’s hard to argue with , but he has not looked that straight forward on the last two runs ; softish ground may suit but he is not one for me at the prices. A fair alternative looks to be Kemari who …
Saturday 12th August
Ascot 1.35 I must admit I am not a great fan of the Shergar Cup , but it does tend to give a few decent punting opportunities on jockeys that may not get that many chances on a big Saturday. This opening race is a race in point with overseas jockeys and only one or …
Goodwood Day 5
1.50 Another blank day tipping wise yesterday with 2 of the selections bombing out & Galeron again looking like he will pick something up at some point. Zaman Jemil comes into this off the back of a win at Thirsk , I am not sure that sort of form will be enough to posts another …
Goodwood Day 4
1.50 Just a quick line on the debacle that was the ride given to Blue Rose Cen a 2pt selection from Day 3. It was complete dog’s dinner of a ride getting boxed in , in what was virtually a 4 horse race & if she had got any sort of clear run I believe …
Goodwood Day 3
1.50 The ground after a deluge of rain is heavy for day 3 & it can be a minefield for punting when the ground is as bad as this , so tread carefully with your won selections. Perfuse has won on heavy , it was a small field novice with not a lot in behind, …
Goodwood Day 2
1.50 The ground on Day 1 looked hard going and I suspect there might be some rain on the way for the track on Day 2. Lots of unexposed 3 year olds in this opening contest & the shortlist is a very long one ! . Struth won’t mind soft ground & it will suit …
Goodwood Day 1
2.50 Plenty of inform horses go to post for this opening contest on ITV’s 5 day Goodwood coverage. Top of the list is Eagle’s Way who won all 4 races last year and resumed with a great run when just touched off at Yarmouth last week, he obviously has more to come but I have …
Saturday 29th July
Ascot 1.50 A very difficult 2 year old opening contest to today’s ITV card. There are plenty in here with scope and open to any amount of improvement. Pretty Crystal & Soprano have the best form & there was a lot to like about Symbology debut win at York. Just a race to watch for …
