[ad_1] Patrick Mullins is not ruling out seeing Faugheen serve it up to brilliant mare Apple’s Jade in today’s Squared Financial Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown (13:50). ‘The Machine’ will be having just his second run over the three-mile trip, with Faugheen having romped to victory in last season’s Champion Stayers’ Hurdle at the Punchestown Festival. He finished second to stablemate Sharjah in last month’s…

Ascot 1.50 – De Dollar Man The selection here is De Dollar Man who has been quite lightly campaigned over the last couple of seasons and showed an encouraging performance on his comeback at Newbury. He just needs to sharpen up his jumping a little but I’m sure softer ground is what he needs. It’s significant that his best run over hurdles (by some…

Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions! It's the last Saturday action before Christmas Day, but with a bumper day ahead on Boxing Day (we'll be covering that too) then there's plenty to look forward to over the festive period. We've decent cards at Ascot and Haydock first this Saturday to take in, with six races spread…

Cheltenham 1.55 – Baron Alco You’ve got to be good to do the Nov/Dec Cheltenham double, but I think Baron Alco’s exceptional display of front running has been underestimated. He goes on soft if the rain comes, is equally effective on the New Course and can go very close again here. Cheltenham 2.30 – Supremely Lucky You can make a pretty strong case that…

The December International Meeting at Cheltenham is a pre-Christmas treat and undeniably one of the most exciting National Hunt meetings on the Winter calendar. With a wealth of emerging talent and established stars set to strut their stuff on the Holy Turf at Prestbury Park, punters will be lining up in their droves to try and seek out some winners. As usual at Cheltenham,…

Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions! We've one of the jump season highlights this Saturday with Cheltenham's final day of their December Meeting. A bumper day at Prestbury Park with the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup and the International Hurdle two of the highlights – the ITV cameras will be showing us four LIVE races from…

Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions! The tapes go up for the opening day of the 2018 Cheltenham December Meeting this Friday (15th December) with FOUR LIVE ITV races from Prestbury Park. Four competitive races to look forward to, including the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase – a race Irish trainer Enda Bolger has won…

It's a mouth-watering weekend of National Hunt action ahead, with action from Sandown and Aintree on Saturday. As always, BetBright's Racing Ambassador, Nick Luck, is here with his selections, most notably, for the Tingle Creek and Becher Handicap Chase. Sandown 1.50 – Lalor A strong favourite on what he achieved at Cheltenham, Lalor should win again. He’s got loads of good form on soft…

With fourteen runners in all bar one race, where there’s just the eleven heading to post in the Class 3 feature at 7.45pm, winners at Kempton Park on Friday evening will be tough to come by, but we’ll give it our best shot. The going at Kempton has been “standard to slow” for what seems a lifetime now, but there’s plenty of rain in…

As we move into the second week in December the top-class jump action continues to come at as thick and fast as this Saturday the ITV cameras head to Sandown racecourse for their Tingle Creek meeting, plus they are also up at Aintree racecourse to take in four races that include the Becher Chase and Grand Sefton Chase – two races that are run over the…

Newbury 13:50 – Speedo Boy Speedo Boy did this column a favour about a fortnight ago when winning at Cheltenham. Admittedly there were several flights of hurdles omitted on that occasion, but when he did have to jump them he did so far more fluently than I had anticipated. More importantly he showed a really willing attitude up the hill, something I hadn’t expected…

If you are able to settle for fair to middling equine action of a Friday, then fair enough. Indeed, you’ll find five supporting cards to get stuck into, on the last day of what has felt like a very long week approaching this top notch weekend of National Hunt action upon us. Day 1 of Newbury’s superb Ladbrokes Trophy meeting is where it’s really…

Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions! Another huge Saturday ahead with the Ladbrokes Trophy Chase – plus the Fighting Fifth Hurdle as the main contests at Newbury and Newcastle – As always, we’ve got all the ITV TV trends to help you find the best winning profile of past winners of the main races.…

Haydock 1.50 – Ch’Tibello This is a real little minefield of a race, but I’m taking a chance that Ch’Tibello can take advantage of a slipping handicap mark on a track that he loves. I’m hoping that he’ll be ridden with restraint – which suits him best – and that he’ll get a decent pace to run at courtesy of Cliffs of Dover and…
