2m4½f  (2m4f110y) Play Ladbrokes 5-A-Side On Football Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)  (Class 3)(4yo+ 0-140) MR ONE MORE has a big chance at 7/1. He returned from nearly three years off the track to run a blinder at Chepstow, jumping pretty well on his chase debut and staying all the way to…

1m7½f (1m7f152y) Betfair Exchange Trophy (A Handicap Hurdle) (Grade 3) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) If there’s a Grade 1 horse in this race it’s probably Buzz, the second favourite for Nicky Henderson. He boasts course form but has to defy an 11lb hike in the weights and has been outpaced over two miles…

There’s little between the favourites here on form. Both Ask A Honey Bee and Ashtown Lad should improve up in trip but the balance of their form doesn’t suggest they are miles better than their mid 130s ratings. DANNY KIRWAN has been a hype horse for years but has never…

This revolves around MASTER TOMMYTUCKER getting a clean round as he has the engine of a 160s horse but is very error prone. With 9/1 available we have to have him on side off 157 given his last two starts have been so good. Trevor Hemmings has sold most his…

The John Durkan Memorial Chase is often a good pointer for the Cheltenham Gold Cup despite being over 2m 4f. The last two meetings have been won by Min and he goes in search of a third in a row. He is getting older now and although he must retain…

2m5f (Grand National) William Hill Grand Sefton Handicap Chase The finale over the National Fences has a number that could go well on their first attempt. Lord Du Mesnil probably wants it much further and could be targeting the April event whilst Hunstman Son would look interesting if the ground…

3m2f William Hill Becher Handicap Chase (Grade 3) The Becher Chase looks set to be dominated by those with course form again. Le Breuil is the best handicapped in this from last years’ runner having ran well in for a long way before fading into seventh. And runner-up, Kimberlight Candy,…

1m7½f  (1m7f119y) Planteur At Chapel Stud Henry VIII Novices’ Chase (Grade 1) (GBB Race)  (Class 1) (4yo+) No Shishkin in the line up but a fascinating novice chase nonetheless with a couple of 2pts win favourites. Allmankind surprised many when bolting up on chase debut at Warwick and is the highest rated going into…

3m2f Ladbrokes Trophy Chase (Handicap) (Grade 3) (Class 1) A good renewal of the Ladbrokes Trophy over at Newbury and Vinndication sits at the top-of-the-market. I’m not convinced he’s as consistent racing left-handed and despite his porgressive profile I’m not keen on him at 6/1. SECRET INVESTOR also carries a…

2m4½f (2m4f118y) Get Your Ladbrokes £1 Free Bet Today Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) (4yo+ 0-150) HOWLING MILAN fell at the last when 3l clear off 125 over this course and distance earlier this year, and dropped to 123 he has to be in with a shout at a course that seems to bring out…
