Qemah and Le Brivido combined to bag us two winners on Wednesday’s Royal Ascot card, both favourites, and market leaders are having a good week. American trainer Wes Ward is having a good week with two winners and a close second, so it’s hard not to like the claims of MCERIN in…

1pt win Le Brivido @10/3 or best morning price, 14:30 Ascot, Wednesday
Tuesday’s Queen Anne Stakes winner Ribchester won the opening Jersey Stakes on day two of Royal Ascot last year after placing third in the 2000 Guineas, and Classic form again looks key to unlocking the 2017 renewal as horses from the 2000 Guineas, 1000 Guineas and French 2000 Guineas top the market.…
1.5pts win Qemah @3/1, 15:40 Ascot, Wednesday
The Duke Of Cambridge for fillies and mares really does appear to be a battle between three horses at the top of the market, with the rest of the field lacking any consistent pattern-company performers. Laugh Aloud has been favourite for this contest ever since she hosed-up by five lengths…
Our selection Wings Of Eagles wins the Derby at 40/1
Scenes yesterday as our three tips for the Epsom Derby finished 1st, 2nd and 5th, with the winner, Wings Of Eagles, drifting to a whopping starting price of 40/1. We were expecting Aidan O’Brien’s Cliffs Of Moher to be the one to beat, and he put up a mighty performance…
2pts win Hawkbill @4/1, 13:50 Newbury, Saturday
It’s soft ground for Newbury’s big Saturday card and the first race looks a cracker, with a mixture of tall reputations and Group One winners. Midterm trades favourite from his stablemate Across The Stars – both horses put up by these pages in the past year. Having had our fingers…
1pt win Brametot @7/2, 15:15 Deauville, Sunday
There’s Group One flat racing in France today with Deauville hosting the French 2000 Guineas over its straight mile. Whilst it’s been bone dry for the start of the British flat season, it’s very soft in France, and that hurts a few chances. Aidan O’Brien won this last year with…
Saturday tips for Sandown: Menorah, The Druids Nephew and Beat That
Sandown brings the jumps season to a close on Saturday, and while there’s not so much at stake in the trainers’ championship like last season, Nicky Henderson is out in force to get himself over the line. Title rival Paul Nicholls is also pulling no punches with plenty of runners,…
0.75pt each-way Footpad @16/1, 17:30 Punchestown, Thursday
Day three of Punchestown and just a couple of days left in the jumps season before we give the flat our full attention. Feature race of the day is the stayers hurdle where the first three home in Cheltenham’s equivalent renew rivalries after skipping Aintree. Nichols Canyon is rightly favourite…
Saturday racing tips from Ayr
With Aintree and Cheltenham over we turn to Ayr’s Scottish National card in search of a few more jumps winners before the season is out. We’re a bit up against it time-wise today so we’ll keep the analysis to the point. 14:10: Jordan Electrics Ltd Future Champion Novices’ Chase An…
1pt win Fox Norton @4/1, 0.5pt each-way Josses Hill @14/1, 15:25 Aintree, Friday
Tea For Two and Lizzie Kelly continued our strong form by following up Vivlos’s 25/1 win at Meydan with an 18/1 success in the Grade 1 Bowl on the opening day of Aintree’s Grand National meeting. There’s plenty of Grade 1 action on Friday’s card with the Melling Chase over…
