12.45 Newbury – BETFAIR DENMAN CHASE LONG RUN should be very hard to beat in this. He has run well on both occasions this season, but has found the mighty Kauto Star too good both times. It has been reported that he has really pleased connections in schooling recently and although he has to concede [...]
Saturday, February 11th 2.05 MUSSELBURGH – JOHN SMITH’S SCOTTISH TRIUMPH HURDLE CREEKSIDE was decent on the flat, winning twice and is fancied to make it another winner for the Ferguson-Quinlan partnership that has done so well this season. On his debut over hurdles he won at Catterick, but was arguably not as impressive as he [...]
Ryanair Chase This is one of my favourite races of the festival from a statistics point of view as the winners of all seven renewals have had a similar profile. Firstly they all won on their chase debut, secondly they had all won over fences at Cheltenham before and finally they had all won at [...]
The weather has finally turned and with Sandown already abandoned, I am hoping that no further meetings are lost to the weather as there is some interesting racing at both Ffos Las and Musselburgh this weekend, but it is very much fingers crossed!

The service previews every race at the festival and short lists a maximum of three horses per race. Last year it had 8 winners and 7 [...]
2.15 NAAS – IRISH STALLION FARMS E.B.F. IRISH RACING WRITERS NOVICES HURDLE DISTANT MEMORIES was very useful on the flat, rated 114 at his peak and should outclass the opposition. I was impressed with his debut over hurdles, where he travelled well off the pace, before picking off the leader on the run-in. The pair [...]
1.40 KEMPTON PARK – DOWNLOAD williamhill.com ON YOUR MOBILE NOVICES’ HURDLE I was at Huntingdon when HIT THE HEADLINES made his debut over hurdles and was very impressed. It looked a very good race, yet he made the opposition look ordinary. There was a lot of market confidence behind him and I get a feeling [...]
2.05 Sandown – 32Red Handicap Steeple Chase Ground conditions are set to be testing at Sandown this weekend and one horse that should be fine on the ground is ALL FOR FREE. He was an impressive winner two starts ago when winning by 11 lengths on soft ground at Ascot and then followed it up [...]
