We’ve already advised DODGING BULLETS in the 14:05 at Ascot and CUE CARD in the 15:00 at Haydock, but there’s high-class racing across several cards today and I fancy Nicky Henderson’s VANITEUX to make a winning reappearance in the 15:15 Handicap Chase at Ascot. A high-class novice chaser last season, he narrowly lost to…

Haydock’s Betfair Chase is the first Grade 1 of the English jumps season, run over three miles of mud, and this year’s renewal will be as testing as it is classy. Dual-winner and reigning champ Cue Card trades favourite after defeat on reappearance to the also-present Irish Cavalier in the…

At the weights I fancy ex-Champion-Chaser DODGING BULLETS to land this Ascot Grade 2 chase. His best form is over two miles, where he’s a triple Grade 1 winner was and one of the stars of the 2014/2015 jumps season. Aged eight it’s hard to believe his best days are behind him,…

The last race at Haydock looks set to be an attritional staying handicap. Firebird Flyer was a winner of the Midlands Grand National last year in similar conditions, but it will take a career best off his current mark to be victorious here. Midnight Prayer will also need to produce…

Cheltenham hosts a good-quality card on Sunday, and the Grade 2 Shloer Chase is just one of many hot races. This was the scene of the beginning of the great Sprinter Sacre’s renaissance last season, as he waltzed this on his way to a second Champion Chase crown in March.…

I can’t resist throwing a few quid at an old favourite WOLF OF WINDLESHAM in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham on Sunday given his huge 40/1 price tag. He’s not old at all in truth, being a four-year-old – who do admittedly not have a good record in the race –…

Cheltenham’s opening race on Sunday sees the past two seasons’ Champion Bumper winners renew rivalries after a recent encounter in Perth, where 2014 winner MOON RACER got the better of this year’s victor Ballyandy by three-quarters-of-a-length. That was off level weights yet Moon Racer, trained by David Pipe, concedes 4lbs to…

An incredibly open listed handicap hurdle with six co-favourites all priced at around 8/1. Fingal Bay (2/2 over timber at Cheltenham) and Irish Saint drop in class, switching from fences for their opening run of the season. They occupy the top two spots in the handicap for the Hobbs and…

The jumps season moves up another gear this weekend with Cheltenham’s Open meeting, arguably the biggest race day this side of Christmas. These pages won Saturday’s opening juvenile hurdle last year with an ex-flat horse and 12/1-shot in Wolf Of Windlesham, ridden by Joshua Moore – and at a big price and with…

At 3/1 I fancy LADY ELI to land the Breeders’ Cup Filly And Mare Turf after proving her effectiveness at the Santa Anita track when winning the Juvenile Fillies’ Turf two seasons ago. Injury interrupted her three-year-old career but she got back to winning ways last time out at Belmont Park, beating…
