With the Cheltenham creeping ever closer the racing on Saturday looks to offer punters a serious of opportunities to build the pot for the festival. My nap on the day is on the AW at Southwell in the 3.50 where i expect Glen Buck to outclass the opposition in this 0-100 Class 2 handicap. The…

Many trainers are looking to hit form in readiness for the Festival but none can rival the current well being of leading handler Venetia Williams. Her horses were a little in at out at the turn of the year but over the past 14 days she has sent out a regular stream of winners with…

Ireland seems able to produce no end of top young conditional jockeys but potentially a real star has come to the fore in recent months in the shape of Tiernan Power Roche. It will be very interesting what he gets on in the Martin Pipe Conditional Handicap Hurdle at the Festival After gaining great experience…

Quiet Week Ahead but an Exciting Prospect for the Season A quiet week is in store, with only the three-year-old Kingman colt, Regalian, entered at Southwell on Saturday (5:30). He faces a field that includes several potentially useful colts. 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…

The €100,000 Irish Grand National Trial comes at the perfect time of year for the Gordon Elliott yard. Like several top Irish stables—Henry de Bromhead’s being the most notable—the period from Christmas until after the Dublin Racing Festival (DRF) tends to be quieter in terms of winners.

Arguably, that tally should have been four, with Chasingouttheblues unlucky in running when finishing third in a handicap at Haydock on Saturday. The heart of this strong form has…

Miss Cynthia has some serious form on the flat running well against the likes of Kyprios and Trueshan at grade 1 tracks such as Longchamp and Sandown. She was sold at the Tattersalls Horses in training sale for 100,000 guineas almost certainly with a view to establishing a future profile as a dual purpose broodmare.…

Rebecca Menzies has her string in a rich vein of form and Ocean Legacy who produced her best performance since joining the yard earlier this season, when winning easily at Sedgefield on the 5th February, can follow up at Southwell on Monday She was able to dictate from the front last time out and with…

Flat Season Nears as Haggas Team Gears Up for International Campaigns With the current spell of damp, cold weather, it’s hard to picture that the Flat season is just over six weeks away. The William Haggas team is already in full preparation mode, and this Saturday at 11:30 AM (UK time), their 106-rated three-year-old Yaroogh heads to post in the Al…

Linda Morgan’s runners were slightly disappointing at her local track at Leicester on Thursday. The chasers were let down by jumping errors. However all eyes will be on the return of the stable star Keplars Law who heads to Haydock Park on Saturday looking to establish himself as a high rated graded hurdler, before moving…
