Possibly more to follow later 2:05 Ascot MALYSTIC – 1/2 Pt EW @ 40/1 Power up Paddy Power, 33/1 generally I’m going to side with the old boy in this at a ridiculously massive price it seems to me in this. He has fitness on his side and this strong traveller relishes good ground. He…

More to follow later 2:22 Wetherby TWIG – 3/4 Pt EW @ 8/1 3 places Corals & Lads boost, 15/2 & 13/2 3 places generally A smooth traveller, has some very strong chase form to his name but is an intriguing runner over hurdles in this given he is 2 wins, 2 close 2nds from…

More to follow later 3:45 Ascot HIGHSTAKESPLAYER – 1/2 Pt EW @ 8/1 4 places generally This progressive 8 year old is a prominent racer who has a brilliant record fresh and knows how to win! A smooth traveller, he jumps very well so from a good yard and the right end of the handicap…

Morning folks A bit of a watching brief period at the moment, some good racing but many of the horses are having there first runs of the season so trying to work out recent form is tough enough and are they fully tuned up for this time of year. That’s the challenge and the puzzle.…

Morning folks A tough month and period, as I have said many times before and years of experience teaches, crossover of disciplines in October & November are very tough months. A couple of placers limited the blows but I have not been happy, especially what I am seeing. It’s like groundhog day every race and…

Evening folks Having watched the action and spending all day on the form book, I have gone cautious each way tomorrow, some big priced plays on a very tough day/bad ground where horses can blow out after a long season. Jehangeer has put us in front thus far and any of the well thought out…

More to follow 4:25 Doncaster LOOK BACK SMILING – 3/4 Pt EW @ 16/1 Bet365 5 places, 12/1 & boosts 5 places generally Our old friend, loves Doncaster and soft ground hopefully doesn’t get too far back. Trainer and jockey teaming up well I expect a big run at his favourite track.

A few more to follow 3:30 Cheltenham AN BRADAN FEASA – 1/2 Pt EW @ 25/1 Bet365, 22/1 generally The favourite looks strong in this but we should never be afraid of one horse. There is little to choose between the rest and I like this smooth travelling horse. If you recall, I tipped him…

Good afternoon folks Badly disappointing Sierra Blanca is a non runner as I thought he’d go mighty close! As I have said to you many times before, I will be treading carefully during this notoriously tough crossover of disciplines period (flat ending, winter jumps better horses starting off their season), 25 years experience has shown…

Mainly a watching brief 1st day back at Cheltenham, I thought Strictlyadancer & Jilajone (3:35 & 4:45) could go well but I will pass them over. One I do like though who is fit, has good form, a strong traveller and who should get this run to suit (fast pace predicted and I wouldn’t normally…
