Leopardstown 1.10 Yesterday was the best indication that these graded races in Ireland are mine fields for punters with the Mullins yard having numerous runners in those races and trying to pick which one is the one for today is very hard. This is the case in this race too , there is nothing between …

Sandown 1.25 Jinko Blue has shaped with plenty of promise on the two rules starts so far , he scrambled home against one that has since run in a Grade 1 ; has obvious chances. Onethreefivenotout looks as if this step back up in trip will suit him well on handicap debut. Probably between the …

Cheltenham 1.15 There have been some way below par runs from plenty of runners from the two top yards of Henderson & Nicholls of late & I just wonder if they are worth opposing at this time. On that theory we can leave alone both Excello & Il Ridoto . In contrast Jamie Snowdon yard …

Lingfield 1.15 A very tricky looking puzzle of a Grade contest with anyone of the 5 runners having some sort of chance , the market is a little on the tight side and as such I could not recommend any sort of bet Thurles 1.35 I was on Allaho for the King George and having …

Another day of ITV racing that the weather has done its best to wipe out & we are left with Lingfield & Navan as the filler races for ITV . They are decent enough cards , so at least we can have some action Navan 1.55 A race that probably revolves around two improvers in …

Wetherby 1.10 Not a very strong race for a Grade 2 with Colonel Harry standing out somewhat on form , he is odds on a rightfully so ; but its a very shallow race and we can pass bet wise Kempton 1.30 A race that’s very tricky to solve , the two with course form …

Wincanton 1.30 A tricky puzzle of a race to open today’s ITV cards . Magic Saint is well handicapped these days but has been running for the most part in weak hunter chases and was pulled up when returned to competitive company last time out. Prince Quali was easy to back on the return to …

Cheltenham 12.55 a very tight small field race with 4 of the 5 runners having some sort of chance. The market is not giving anything away either so just a race to move on from Musselburgh 1.10 Paul Nicholls has a good record at this track when sending runners on the long trek north , …

Newbury 1.15 Marator looks to have a decent chance and currently heads the market. Guy probably needs better going , while The Russian Doyen should go well back over this C&D. The market had things about right so no bet Haydock 1.25 Another short priced fav with a good chance in Collectors Item & the …
