With significant rain forecast on Thursday we stick to the Lingfield AW track. If you backed Gallant at York -plenty did, he was a well backed 7/2 favourite, you may still be in recovery as the 3yo was stuck on the far rail and at no point even came off the bridle eventually finishing 9th…

A quick look at the Haggas runners on Wednesday. 4.55 Nottingham – Eternal Force and Mukhtalif Both will play second fiddle to the favourite Run to Thunder in this five runner affair, if the Varian trained odds on favourite runs to form . Mukhtalif is a well bred newcomer who will come on for the…

The gamble on Archivist from 13/8 into 2/5 was probably just down to bookmaker error in their pricing of the early markets. However it gave us the opportunity to extend our 100% 3pt bet record from horses based out of Somerville Lodge to 5 from 5 To be fair most of the big firms offered…

We have so far this season put up 4 x 3pt bet recommendations from the William Haggas yard and all 4 have won. No 5 is fully expected to keep the record intact as Archivist finally gets the opportunity to lose his maiden tag and set himself up for a Royal Ascot assignment. He goes…

Unfortunately Bowmark lost his race before the start of the French Derby getting really overheated before the start and then racing out of control from the off. Hopefully they can get him back but sometimes they don’t recover from after that sort of experience. The Haggas yard had two winners at Nottingham which we by…

Three runners for the yard this afternoon at Nottingham. In the 5.00 Supermodel – goes to the post for her first outing in 2025. Her two runs last season where on heavy ground but i don’t think that is vital. However , regular readers will know we have not backed 3yo’s from the yard on…

Despite yesterdays reports I have had it confirmed that the ground is good at Chantilly for todays Prix du Jockey Club ( the French Derby) . I cannot let Bowmark go off without a small interest in what looks no more than an average running of the race . It’s been a frustrating month for…

A frustrating day on Saturday especially with Term of Endearment which we backed at 3/1 leading everywhere before and after the line at York but beaten on the nod at 6/5. It was certainly Ed Walkers day -and the bookies – with major gambles not only on Shaha and Term of Endearment but also Shader,…

The Listed Fillies Stakes race the 2.58 Haydock today ran in tribute to the great Lester Piggott has been dominated over the last 10 years by William Haggas ( understandably with the family connection) and John Gosden winning 6 of the last 10 runnings. Haggas runs Chorus who has an each way shout but it…

Two 2nds so far Friday one each way at 8/1 so a small profit and Noble Horizon getting mugged at Chepstow after seeing off the odds on favourite. The Haggas team should have a very good Saturday – Here is the general overview with recommended bets and stakes. I will cover the Haggas runners off…
