Cheltenham 1.45 Good Risk At All was left with a simple task when the main rival fell late on at Carlisle , that was a good start to life over fences but he was found wanting in top grade handicaps last season over hurdles and this looks another deep race over a much further trip …

1.45 Ballybreeze is the somewhat surprising favourite this evening , he fell when last seen and has had wind surgery since & you can’t really say he is that well handicapped ; obviously someone thinks he is capable but not one for me at the current price. Calico is another coming into this off the …

Wincanton 1.15 Flagrant Delitiep is well handicapped & there was a glimmer of hope that the spark still remains last time out & the wins have been on soft ground over this type of trip. Huelgoat does not have any secrets and the yard are rather hit and miss at present , although the claimer …

Wetherby 1.15 A very wide open contest for the start of the ITV racing , I can give a whole host of chances , the main ones to Ladronne ( who goes well here , The Edgar Wallace who returns on a good mark & Thor De Cerisy who likes the ground , but has …

Chepstow 1.35 Most of these veterans have questions hanging over them & it’s not a race I want to get involved with at all Newmarket 1.50 This 5f sprint is more than likely to be decided by the draw advantage and with the plum stall in 1 is Inquisitively , but all his form has …

Newmarket 1.30 I can certainly see the case for Whispering Words being to the fore of the this market , but at 5’2 she is far from that solid form wise and I think its more based on connections , so not one for me at all as there are plenty of dangers. Totnes is …

Longchamp 1.15 First off it’s very good card and I am sure there will be plenty of future winners come out of it , so the performances are worth bearing in mind for next season. The UK and Irish runners in this Unquestionable & Rosallion look the strongest contenders on form in our side of …
