It’s fascinating to see Cheltenham Festival’s biggest hype horse SAMCRO entered in next month’s Irish Champion Hurdle, given it’s highly unusual to pitch a novice into Grade 1 open company. Connections must smell blood after Faugheen recently bombed out of the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown, blowing open the two-mile hurdling division in…

1pt win Waiting Patiently @7/4, 14:05 Kempton, Saturday
The smooth-traveling improving seven-year-old WAITING PATIENTLY looks a worthy favourite in the 14:05 at Kemptom, receiving weight from some ageing rivals in Josses Hill, Smad Place and God’s Own, with the latter the biggest threat if returning to his Grade 1-winning best. 1pt win Waiting Patiently @7/4, 14:05 Kempton, Saturday …
1pt win Top Gamble @11/2, 14:00 Cheltenham, Monday
Testing conditions for the New Year’s day meeting at Cheltenham which has whittled the numbers down across much of the card. The BetBright Grade 3 Handicap Chase still has nine runners remaining, but looks to be a contest between the first three in the betting. Sametegal has run well on…
1pt win Dame Rose @3/1, 15:00 Newbury, Saturday
Newbury hosts a Grade 1 on Saturday, featuring six novice hurdlers and a competitive betting market. Three horses vie for favouritism around the 3/1 mark, with Colin Tizzard’s Kilbricken Storm – who I’m keen take on – winning the battle at 11/4 at the time of writing. In the manner of…
0.75pts each-way Mysteree @8/1, 0.75pts each-way Wild West Wind @9/1, 14:05 Chepstow, Saturday, Welsh Grand National
After the postponement of this race ten days ago, we remain firmly on our two previous selections. Unfortunately, their prices have since contracted having come in for support. The Coral Welsh Grand National was privileged to have one of the top staying chasers of last season in the field with…
1pt win Landofhopeandglory @4/1, 14:55 Leopardstown, Tuesday
The feature race on the card sees Footpad take on the unbeaten Death Duty in the Racing Post Novice Chase at Leopardstown on Boxing Day. Two novices that I am personally looking forward to seeing go head-to-head. There is another novice chaser in the shape of LANDOFHOPEANDGLORY running in his…
7/1 Fox Norton to land the King George - and the Gold Cup!
Eight are declared for the 2017 renewal of Boxing Day’s King George Chase at Kempton, one of the deepest and most competitive in recent memory. A Grade 1 chase over three miles, it’s one of the top races in the jumps calendar and has been won by so many of…
1pt win L'Ami Serge @11/2, 14:25 Ascot, Saturday
Recent evidence suggests Unowhatimeanharry, rising ten years of age, is a declining force in the staying hurdlers division rather than the relentless improver of recent seasons. He won this Grade 1 JLT Long Walk Hurdle last year as well as the stayers hurdle at Punchestown in the spring, but was…
0.75pts each-way Air Horse One @12/1, 0.75pts each-way Veinard @14/1, 15:35 Ascot, Saturday
An extremely classy renewal of the Racing Welfare Handicap Hurdle at Ascot on Saturday afternoon. The betting is led by progressive four-year-old Silver Streak, who couldn’t have looked any more impressive on his return in a handicap event in October. Evan Williams will expect further progressive now, but the softer…
1pt win Amour De Nuit @9/2, 13:40 Doncaster, Saturday
Flying Tiger drops in to more comfortable handicap territory having finished 4.5l behind Champion Hurdle winner Buveur D’air in the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth. That form read literally means he should be favourite for this. But it wasn’t the most truly run race up at Newcastle, and I don’t think…
