4m2½f (Grand National) Randox Grand National Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (7yo+) We are less than three weeks away from the Grand National at Aintree and at the present moment, Corach Rambler heads the field to complete back-to-back successes of the race, off the back of a…

4m2f (4m2f8y) bet365 Midlands Grand National Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) From the fanfair of the Cheltenham Festival to the gallops of Uttoxeter. The Midlands Grand National always throw up a treat for post-Cheltenham blues. There are quite a few horses that I’m a fan of…

3m2½f (3m2f70y) (New) Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) A decent renewal of the great race and reigning champ Galopin Des Champs will take the world of beating if returning in the form of his Leopardstown romp. That’s not guaranteed however as he’s been beaten twice since last year’s…

2m1f (2m179y) (New) BetMGM County Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) This isn’t a deep renewal as it hasn’t attracted a full field and Willie Mullins doesn’t appear to have a Grade 1 horse lurking in the handicap – his best chances have ground concerns. Gordon Elliott has a strong hand here…

3m (2m7f213y) (New) Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1) (Registered As The Spa Novices’ Hurdle) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) Until yesterday, you’d have to say Paul Nicholls horses has been running poorly. But Ginny’s Destiny ran a great race in the Turners Novices Chase and Monmiral claimed success for…

2m4½f (2m4f127y) (New) Mrs Paddy Power Mares’ Chase (Registered As The Liberthine Mares’ Chase) (Grade 2) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) The Mares Chase isn’t one of my favourites and Dinoblue has been a long-time favourite for it, but I have some serious stamina doubts about her. She is clearly…

3m (2m7f213y) (New) Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1) (Registered As The Spa Novices’ Hurdle) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) I don’t really see why DANCING CITY isn’t a great bet at 8/1 given he’s rapidly progressive – winning a Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival on his third start over hurdles – and…

2m1f (2m179y) (New) JCB Triumph Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo) It’s a tough old race this one and there wasn’t much between them at the Dublin Racing Festival when Kargese probably just had the pace advantage on the rest of the field. Majborough has been talked up…

2m4f (2m3f168y) (New) Turners Novices’ Chase (Grade 1) (Registered As The Golden Miller) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) I got Gaelic Warrior all wrong earlier in the week. He was the best horse in the race and his right-adjusting jumping was no bother. Facile Vega could be a similar story here but for one major…

3m (2m7f213y) (New) Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) CUTHBERT DIBBLE has a hugely eye-catching profile including some class form at Sandown last year in a Grade 3 Novice hurdle where he finished fifth to Crambo who runs in the Stayers Hurdle. Cuthbert Dibble…
