Albany Stakes (Group 3) 6f Far too many (25) runners for a deep look into this race but I like everything about the chances of LIL GREY in the opener. The stand side horses have bossed the straight track this week and she’s in stall 25 on the rail, while…

Hampton Court Stakes (Group 3) 10f Highland Reel never liked soft ground, nor did his little brother Idaho, and chances are the youngest sibling Cape Of Good Hope wants good ground too, so he’s fairly easy to dismiss – he hasn’t done too much to suggest he’s as good as…

Queen Mary Stakes (Group Two) 5f I can’t have the American raider at the prices given her dirt pedigree and the fact she’s never raced on soft ground, on a straight course or indeed on grass. I’m not sure why Aidan O’Brien’s chief hope TANGO is such a big price…

Royal Ascot starts with a bang on Tuesday, with three Group Ones and the Group Two Coventry Stakes on the opening card, followed by another four days of top-class flat racing through to Saturday. Queen Anne Stakes (Group One) 8f With no superstar miler emerging from any of the big…

It’s set to be bottomless conditions at Haydock come Saturday afternoon and that requires us to take a closer look at some real course specialists. Danzeno stormed back to form last time for his first win in nearly two years and he is favourite for this at 3/1. He looks…

We’re looking four our fourth consecutive winning tip in the Epsom Derby, after 11/1 Harzand, 40/1 Wings Of Eages and 20/1 Masar last year. Here’s my thoughts on all the runners as well as my best bets. Line Of Duty Stall one virtually guarantees poor track position, while quick ground…

A typically competitive renewal for this three-year-old handicap with several horses holding leading claims. There is plenty of reason to think that Politicise can improve for the step up in trip here having plugged on well in both his starts over a mile this season. But he has been well…

Although Meydan form can be a little unreliable, OLD PERSIAN has looked a significantly improved horse out there this year with his form reaching a new level in the Dubai Sheema Classic. His beating of two Japanese raiders doesn’t read like top-class form, but he did it so easily and…

The Investec Mile Handicap raced on Oaks day has a wide-open look with the betting starting at prices of 7/1 currently. Hors De Combat ran a blinder on his reappearance run back in the UK and could run a big race for each-way punters once again at a nice price.…

Part of the undercard to the Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh on Saturday features the Group 2 Greenland Stakes won by Merchant Navy last year for Coolmore. O’Brien enters St. Patricks Day for his first start of the season having failed to improve as a three-year-old. He isn’t the…
