In addition to the ten races from this meeting that I covered from a trends perspective in the Aintree & Punchestown Festivals Betting Guide, I will also be giving my views on the other races at this five-day meeting which is likely to start on close to heavy ground and more rain is forecast throughout [...]
Firstly, back to normal with a full weekend preview this week, combining Jumps and Flat at Ayr and Newbury after only Aintree last week which was the only quality meeting. Saint Are was my only real fancy at the prices outside of the Grand National last weekend so I hope you followed me in on [...]

With the absence of a rock-solid favourite for this year’s 2000 Guineas it isn’t completely surprising that so many runners line up for tomorrow’s Craven as many will be hoping that they can force their way into the 2000 Guineas reckoning. No winner has carried a penalty in the last decade so that doesn’t inspire [...]
