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. Sandown 1.50 – Laurina Seeing as though I like…

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 – 4.35pm In Wolverhampton’s second race at 4.35pm, 90…

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 12.15pm with the Listed Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle… For the…

Cheltenham 12.50 – The Druid’s Nephew Clearly I’m taking a massive chance here with a horse returning from a monster absence. But the fact remains that The Druid’s Nephew was only beaten a couple of lengths in a hot race at Sandown on his most recent start and he is able to run here off a 6 pound lower mark (9lbs lower than when…

Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions! No let-up for the top-class racing action over the festive period with another huge day of National Hunt action on Wednesday 27th December. The ITV cameras head to Kempton for three races for the second and final day of their Winter Festival, while they are also at Chepstow to take…

Kempton – 1.20 Dell Oro I like the way the imposing son of Walk in The Park has been campaigned, with connections opting to go chasing before the handicapper has really got his measure. He ran an excellent race here over hurdles on his final start and probably improved on that when chasing home the speedier Chesterfield over 2m 2f. This slightly longer trip…

I was a fairly late comer to horse racing, only starting to fully engage with the sport in my late teens around the early 2000s. The period from 2002 to 2005 was a special period in time for the Leopardstown Christmas Chase, then and for many years known as The Ericsson and Lexus Chase, now called the Savills Chase, with the 2018 renewal set…

[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…
