2m4f Boylesports Extra Places Daily Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race) (Class 2) (4yo+) Walking On Air could very well be thrown in for this off his mark and he’s the one horse in the race who could be a Grade 1 animal in time. However his last run was an absolute…

2m7½f (2m7f98y) Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle (Pertemps Hurdle Series Qualifier) (GBB Race) (Class 2) (4yo+) I had a look at this race before it was priced up and came up with BRIDGE NORTH as the most interesting runner, so it’s a little disappointing to see him 4/1 fav. He looks…

2m Fingal Ravens Raceday Maiden Hurdle (Div II) (4yo+) Champion Bumper winner Facile Vega is all the rage as the 2/11 favourite and has looked brilliant to date. I’m not really interested in taking him on – although it’s tempting! – and there looks to be some value in the market to…

3m Bar One Racing Troytown Handicap Chase (Grade B) Frontal Assault is a very short priced favourite for the Troytown Handicap at a curent best price of 5/2. He has a similar profile to Run Wild Fred, who won this last year, for trainer Gordon Elliott and looks very handily…

3m½f Betfair Exchange Stayers’ Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) It’s hard to rule anyone out with any confidence in the stayers handicap hurdle over at Haydock. Might I clearly has eye-catching formlines behind the likes of Jonbon, Constitution Hill and Three Stripe Life – all top…

2m½f  (2m87y) (Old) Unibet Greatwood Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race)  (Class 1) (4yo+) HARBOUR LAKE looks an obvious value bet at 16/1 for Greatwood success. He’s only raced five times, winning four and being brought down in the fifth. His return at Market Rasen was as cosy as they come as he was held…

2m4f  (2m4f44y) (Old) Paddy Power Gold Cup Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race)  (Class 1) (4yo+) FRENCH DYNAMITE ticks too many boxes here to not back him. Whilst he has zero Cheltenham experience – a red flag for many – he’s a prominent racer who jumps well and, particularly on this good ground, that will…

2m½f (Old) JCB Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle (Registered As The Prestbury Juvenile Hurdle) (Grade 2) (Class 1) (3yo) This may not be the deepest Grade 2 Juvenile Hurdle you will ever find, but it’s an intriguing contest all the same. The current favourite, Blueking D’Oroux, a French import for Paul…

1m4f  Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf (Grade 1) (3yo+) (Turf)  (3yo+) With everything Charlie Appleby runs either winning or getting beaten in a photo, everything points to Godolphin success here with first string Nations Pride – and I have admittedly got a few quid on him antepost – but the fact of the…

1m1½f  (1m1f110y) Maker’s Mark Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (Grade 1) (3yo+) (Turf)  (3yo+) This race revolves around Nashwa running to form, as over 10f she has arguably been the best filly in Europe this season – if only just. She’s got a great draw and broke well in the French Oaks,…
