Walden won really well for his owners at Market Rasen on Sunday. The step up in trip worked nicely, and touch wood there should be a lot more to come from him. The busy period continues today with Jackstell, who is having his final start of the season.Jackstell has been very consistent in his runs, it's not easy to win a Maiden or Novice through the jumps season proper. Moving back in trip shoul...

Walden runs at Market Rasen this afternoon in the 2m4f Maiden Hurdle. The key here is the trip, we have no idea if Walden will get home. However, if we didn't run, that would be it for the season for Walden as we can't run him on anything quicker than good ground. It's the right race but maybe the wrong trip. We'll find out later on.

The Lord Maid was a very good at Ayr over the weekend, winning the 50k mares' race. It was a brilliant day for her owners. We head North again today but not quite as far, Nibras Gold runs at Beverley.This is the first start on the flat since 2021, hopefully Nibras won't be looking for the fences. It's a competitive race with many holding chances, we are happy with our horse, others have a fitnes...

We run The Lord Maid in the valuable mares' race at Ayr today in the 2:55. The Lord Maid is in very good form, and we couldn't be happier with her. Her best form has come on a testing surface.I'd be a little worried we might get done for speed, so Stan will be very positive. We'll give it a big go with the money on offer. In the Scottish National, Famous Bridge is my pick.

Counsel runs at Nottingham today, a switch to the turf after running on the AW through the winter months.Although Counsel hasn't won on turf yet, he's ran plenty of good races on grass and still seems in decent form. Nottingham wouldn't be the ideal racecourse as Counsel is better coming around a bend, but timings suited.The favourite is very well handicapped and could be hard to beat.   &...

Back In The Bay runs at Plumpton today in the second race. This is here first run for 204 days and first run for trainer James Owen. We've been pleased with Bay since coming back into training, the ground will be on the lively side for her, whilst the other three horses will hold a fitness advantage. The favourite will be very tough to beat, we are mainly looking for a positive run and something...

Jackstell runs at Ascot today in the first race at 2:10. This is the first run back for a while and after a wind op. It can take a few runs for horses to work out they can breathe better and trust it, but hopefully it will help Jackstell long term. Wicked Thoughts and Haaland look the two to beat, we are wrong at the weights with Wicked Thoughts, who has the standout form. Haaland was a good fla...

Let's Sail Away ran much better at Market Rasen on Sunday and won for his owners.Tom Lacey has done a good job getting him A1. He's a horse that should have a lot more to offer going forwards. Devasboy runs at Wolverhampton this evening in the 6:30.Devasboy isn't trying very hard at the moment, homework is very good, but he goes through the motions on the racecourse. We've taken the headgear off...

The Cheltenham Festival is done and dusted for another year.Hopefully you followed the selections on here over the four days, it was very profitable, we nailed Gold Cup day. We have a runner at Kempton today, Dibble Decker in the 4:32. We are trying three miles again, Dibble has run over this trip once before and didn't get home or close to it.That was a few years ago, and Dibble has been stayin...

Head and body above water going into the last day of the Cheltenham Festival.Another winning day on Thursday with Fact To File who put in the best performance of the week so far, he was spectacular. Rocky's Diamond got the place money that paid around 5-1 plus Masaccio helped out.We'll see if we can make it four winning days in a row, either way, I'll be staking to ensure up on the week. Two of ...

The Thursday of the Cheltenham Festival can be a bloodbath for punters, it's normally the hardest day of the week. Our heads stay above water, Marine Nationale was a nice winner yesterday. It's perhaps best to play things safe today and get through to Gold Cup day in a fair position. Firefox in the 2:00 should run very well. He's a Grade 1 horse, dropping into a handicap. I expect Gordon Elliott...

A good start to Cheltenham, few quid won on a day that will be remembered for a crazy Champion Hurdle. Hard to get away from Final Demand in the first race, he will be a future Gold Cup horse whatever the result in this race. I've backed Gorgeous Tom & Better Days Ahead in the without Ballyburn market, both are priced at 3-1. If that's not your thing, each horse could be backed normally ew a...

First Day of the Cheltenham Festival. Many will be doing the short price lucky 15 that looks to have every chance of paying. Needing 4 winners for a payout of just 7-1 at the festival isn't for me, but it does look a fun bet. No real thoughts on the Supreme, Kopek Des Bordes looked a monster last time out and will take some beating. However, I'm not keen on betting an odds on shot to start the m...

Walden runs this afternoon in the 4:31 at Doncaster, Gavin Sheehan rides. The race is a bit of a lottery, loads of horses making handicap debuts, including Walden who runs off 105.The winner will be the horse that connections have got best rating for, Walden is honest and game, but his mark looks stiff enough.Low sun could come into play, it would be no surprise if the hurdles in the home straigh...

A quiet week but we are in action at Southwell tonight with two runners, Cairn Gorm & Devasboy. Cairn Gorm has been running very well, despite being second last time out, the race wasn't run to suit. This will take some winning, whilst we are v keen to run on the turf with Cairn Gorm. A sharper track would be better, but this race fits from a timing point of view. If Rohaan is coming back to...
