[ad_1] The Scoop6 win fund failed to be won once again on Boxing Day as Clan Des Obeaux, one of just three uncovered runners in the fourth leg, gave Paul Nicholls a tenth King George at Kempton. With a win fund of £558,127 starting the final Saturday of the year, plus an unclaimed £540,356 bonus […]

[ad_1] Altior to star on Festive Thursday     Chepstow 1.05 With the ground in his favour TOP GAMBLE can defy a big weight and bounce back to winning ways for Kerry Lee. It has been a frustrating first half of the season for the trainer but it is probably in her favour that the […]

[ad_1] By his own admission Nicky Henderson “doesn’t win Grand Nationals”, but the Seven Barrows supremo hopes Vyta Du Roc might defy that statement in today’s Welsh National at Chepstow (14:50). Champion trainer Henderson has won most of jumps racing’s biggest prizes although the four major Grand Nationals in Britain and Ireland have so far […]

[ad_1] Elegant Escape (5/1 – Welsh Grand National) has a number of factors in his favour ahead of today’s Welsh Grand National as trainer Colin Tizzard attempts to repeat the magic touch that saw his charge Native River prevail two years ago. Like Native River, Tizzard’s sole entrant is six years old and in recent […]

Here’s BetBright Ambassador, Nick Luck, with his tips ahead of the action at Ascot and Haydock on Saturday afternoon… Ascot 1.50 – Petticoat Tails 10/1 She’s got quite a bit to find on ratings here, but Petticoat Tails can improve a fair bit for the step up to a proper staying trip. She represents last […]

[ad_1] It’s been a feast of festive racing action, but all eyes will be on Ireland on Friday afternoon with a brace of Grade 1 races to look forward too. 1.50 Leopardstown The stayers’ hurdle division is rather murky at present, but it could become clearer after the three-mile Christmas Hurdle. Apple’s Jade is odds-on […]

[ad_1] The wait for the reappearance of Laurina goes on after Willie Mullins decided against running her in Saturday’s Grade One Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown. The five-year-old mare was expected to have a big 2018/19 campaign having enjoyed a remarkable debut season, winning four out of four races, including the Trull House Stud Mares’ Novices’ […]

[ad_1] Spotlight on 29th December Doncaster 1.30 Kim Bailey’s horses remain in fine form and it is hard to find a negative in the chance of STATION MASTER – but plenty of us thought that about Buveur D’Air so tread carefully! He loves good ground, is a sound jumper, runs off the same mark as […]

Christmas can be a tiring affair.You spend what seems an eternity looking forward to the celebrations, only for it to pass by with real life beginning again in what seems a blink of an eye. The 2018/19 jumps season has rather felt like this. We could easily spend the next eight weeks eagerly anticipating the […]

[ad_1] Nicky Henderson has suggested that Altior will be a realistic contender for the King George VI Chase in 2019 after the brilliant chaser made it 16 successive wins in the Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton on Thursday. Unbeaten over fences, there was a feeling of ‘dress rehearsal’ about the race as Altior tested himself […]

Warwick 1.50 – Rocky’s Treasure This represents another good opportunity for the progressive Rocky’s Treasure. Although he has to concede a penalty to some pretty smart rivals, he is inching his way to being a top-notch novice for whom a stern test of jumping on good ground is absolutely ideal. This is a speed favouring […]

Arsenal, 1-0 up at half-time, thought they had won it. They were comfortable: the champions of England leading against Wrexham, a club struggling in the fourth division with issues on and off the pitch. But they did not account for Mickey Thomas. On the cusp of half-time, Alan Smith had put Arsenal in front and […]

Sandown 1.20 – Lithic Lithic has crashed and burned a couple of times at Sandown, but has also run a couple of stormers here. This looks an easier race than the one in which he would have been placed in last time & the rider takes seven off an already fairly handicapped horse. Big chance. […]

The come down to Earth is a lofty one for the horse racing fan this week, with a very quiet schedule following the Christmas period not providing much inspiration. But if the racing calendar has any pillars of consistent solidarity, Wolverhampton and Dundalk on a Friday night are certainly a part of the brickwork. Wolverhampton […]

A very Happy New Year to all, may it bring us all a little dusting of luck and progression, in life, in love and in horse racing. An already memorable 2018-2019 National Hunt season rumbles forward nicely on the 1st of January with an excellent BetBright sponsored card at Prestbury Park, where action commences at […]
