Hexham – Saturday, June 5th BOW SCHOOL – Fancied to return to winning ways under favourable conditions just over a week ago at Wetherby and did so in determined fashion, running on gamely to defeat the useful Farmer Frank by a narrow margin. Clearly relishes this sort of trip on fast ground and although he faces [...]

Cartmel – Wednesday June 2nd FAIR QUESTION – Useful mud-loving long-distance handicapper (rated 139 at best) who slammed Areyacoddinmee by 30L in a bog at Cartmel on his debut in this sphere. Never going well on quicker ground at Cheltenham last time; front-running style will be suited to this track and has the form to win, [...]

Cartmel – Monday, May 31st Apologies for the abbreviated copy today. This is a wide open Maiden race in which nothing makes particular appeal. Favourite at the time of writing is WHAT OF IT who probably has marginally the best form in the field but he does have to bounce back significantly from a dreadful run [...]

Stratford – Saturday, May 29th W & S Recycling Champion Hunters’ Chase (3m4f) BORDER FUSION – Form figures in the Bangor North-West Final down the years reads: 1112 (beaten 10L by Ice Tea in the latest) and has never won a Hunter Chase away from that track. Fifth in this race last year having held every chance [...]

Stratford – Friday, May 28th Happy 60th Birthday Jonathan Bourne Hunters’ Chase (2m1.5f) PREDATEUR – Weak finisher over trips in excess of an extended 2m so no surprises that he capitulated in the home straight at Folkestone last time; comes right into the equation on the strength of his earlier 2m win at Leicester but faces no [...]

Wetherby – Thursday, May 27th FARMER FRANK – Useful sub-3m performer as he has proved when scoring over this sort of trip at both Towcester (heavy) and at Market Rasen (good) a couple of weeks ago. Especially impressive in the latter when he won easily from some underperforming rivals; comes into this race at the top [...]

Huntingdon – Tuesday, May 25th BLAZE AHEAD – Landed a 2m6f Hunter Chase at Towcester earlier this season but only ordinary form otherwise and was readily brushed aside by Kadount in an ordinary contest at Folkestone last time; races from a pro yard and will be popular because of that, but likely to find at least [...]

Bangor – Saturday May 15th VICARIO – Multiple hurdle/chase winner down the years although not as good in 09; has enjoyed the switch to Pointing/Hunter Chasing this season, winning over 2m5f here, finishing second to Cowboyboots in a bog at Haydock over 3m, then winning two Points in effortless fashion at Eyton. Clear form chance but [...]
