When the Henderson team introduce horses at the very top of the game, they give off an air of confidence that is difficult to quantify but once they start to show it on the track they rarely fail to deliver and progress to become 160 + horses. Let’s assess the chance based on his Auteuil…

Once Cheltenham is over everything will kick into gear for the start of the flat. The four Australian bound horses are en route from Somerville Lodge and of the four Dubai Honour and Al Mubhir could well be betting opportunities providing they settle well down under. This week Raneen will head to post in the…

With the run-up to Cheltenham in full swing, next week will probably be quiet on the jumping front. I thought it might be a good time to post an early look at this year’s 2,000 Guineas, especially given the eye-catching performances of Opera Ballo at Kempton over the past month. 57 horses were declared at…

My William Haggas nemesis horse Carbine Harvester heads to post in the class 2 6F handicap due off at 3.00 on Friday. I remain convinced that his last victories have been achieved through a case of absolutely everything going right for the horse. Track position, usual front runners being held up and strongly fancied horses…

The horses we have backed from the yard so far this month have been notable only by the misfortune they have bought to our table! Simple Getaway somehow snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and then was unable to back up that run 9 days later when going off odds on and costing us…

The Skelton’s desire to win the Trainers Championship and the David Power Jockeys Gold Cup has been the focal point of their season. The valuable Kelso televised meeting has clearly been on their radar and Grey Dawning looks set to win the £35,000plus first prize in the Bet 365 chase. Rock House is 20/1 and…

On Wednesday, we get the chance to return to Wetherby—a track that has been a happy hunting ground for us this season. The race that has caught my attention doesn’t include runners from any of the usual go-to yards at the course, such as Skelton, Hammond, or Jonjo O’Neill. However, the 3m Handicap Chase at…

4 entries this week so far , with the three-year-old Kingman colt, Regalian, entered at Newcastle on Thursday (3.55) in what is not the strongest looking novice stakes. Regalian’s dam has produced one other horse, Theory of Tides, who is also owned by Isa Salman Al Khalifa (owner of Economics). Theory of Tides needed 1m2f+ to show his best form, there is no…

The Skelton yard are brilliant at landing well planned gambles in big handicaps and now there has been 10mm of rain overnight at Kempton and the ground gone to good to soft i think that Heltenham has everything in place to win the 85,000 Ladrokes Trophy Handicap Chase He is the same ownership as Flegmatik…
