Welcome to the first Aintree special and there are six horses that I am looking forward to backing. The first one is WHAT A FRIEND in the totesport Bowl at 3.10 on Thursday. He has been kept fresh for this and connections are very confident. It has been reported that he has improved since his last [...]

Things will be different next week though and an Aintree eyecatchers special will be available on Wednesday, which will include a preview of the Grand National. Stay in [...]

After all the excitement of Cheltenham it is a quiet weekend ahead for jumps fans. There is one horse though that catches my eye and it is OVER SIXTY in the 1.45 at Newbury on Saturday. She is unbeaten in three starts over fences and has really impressed with her jumping. She has been allotted [...]

Subscribers to my horses to follow service will already be aware of some of my ante-post fancies (put up in October), but here are some new ones for subscribers [...]

PUNJABI – He had nothing to beat at Kempton, but did it in good style and when you consider the fact that he is much more effective on better ground, it is clear that he will not give up his champion hurdle crown without a fight. The Champion Hurdle still looks wide open and he [...]

There are a few eyecatching entries this week and the first two both run in the big race – the Racing Post Chase, 3.05 at Kempton. FISTRAL BEACH started the season very attractively handicapped but with a frustrating habit of finishing second, but after another two runner-up spots he eventually came good at Kempton last month, [...]
