A great team effort with Miracles Do Happen, it's taken a while to work her out, but she's always worked like a nice mare. Tom Lacey has his team in fine form whilst Stan is riding out of his skin.Grand National Day. I always back five horses, the below a...

Walden was a big Saturday winner for his owners last weekend at Haydock. It was nice to beat the big boys again in a valuable TV race. Walden is very progressive and is turning into a smart 3m hurdler. Just the one runner again this week that comes at Taunton today with Miracles Do Happen. She has plenty of talent but doesn't help herself been keen in her races. We are trying something a little ...

Walden runs in the valuable Stayers Final at Haydock today, race time is 2:46. Walden qualified for this race when he won nicely at Ascot last time out. The step up in trip suited Walden, it was a very good effort and impressive the way he won a big field handicap so easily. The concern today is running left handed, in the past Walden hasn't gone a yard running this way around, but it has been o...

A nice result with Counsel at Wolverhampton last night in the pouring rain. Counsel showed he still loves the job at the age of 8 and has plenty of speed left in the locker. Out of 17 runs for his owners, Counsel has only been out of the winners enclosure 4 times. He's been a grand horse. Back down to Lingfield today with Profit Street who has his final run in the Arc Aw Bonus Championship. The ...

Counsel runs this evening at Wolverhampton on the back off a mini break.A return to this racecourse and a bend that Counsel enjoys running around will suit well, he's in good form whilst Luke Morris rides who knows him better than anybody.The favourite is the horse to beat and the one with no questions marks against him.

Myrighthandman runs at Kempton today in the first race, the 2m Maiden Hurdle.Myrighthandman has been running well, just missed out at Catterick last time. He's straight forwards and will be a lovely chaser next season.There looks to be a few horses fancied in the race, backed from big prices whilst we are wrong at the weights with Loustic Du Chatel if this was a handicap. Myrighthandman deserves ...

The final day of the Cheltenham Festival and Gold Cup Day. My first couple of bets come in the 2:00. Paul Townsend hasn’t ridden in any handicaps at the festival until this one. He rides Karbau for Willie Mullins of course. This is likely a tip in itself. Karbau has placed in much better races than this “grade 1” a rating of 150 might underestimate him. Priced at 4-1. At bigg...

Halfway through the Cheltenham Festival, races switch to the new course. Conditions could change as the day goes on whilst tomorrow could see soft ground with a lot of rain forecast. It’s hard to oppose Bambino Fever in the first race, she looks smart, and her odds reflect that. A bit of 11-10 is around. If fancying her, Oldschool Outlaw must also have a chance, beat Bambino Fever two runs ...

The second day of the Festival, day one saw the brilliant Lossiemouth spank her rivals in the Champion Hurdle, it was a fantastic performance from this mare. My first picks on Wednesday come in the second race, Brown Advisory at 2:00. If Romeo Coolio stays this trip, he’ll take all the beating, but he’s never gone past 2m4f under rules. He could be very smart, but I can’t bet h...

The first day of the Cheltenham Festival. Excellent racing with some very strong renewals and plenty of doubts / questions marks at the same time in the big race of the day. The meeting starts as ever with the Supreme Hurdle. Old Park Star is the favourite for Nicky Henderson. I can’t remember the last time we’ve had an English trained favourite? Old Park Star, numbers on the clock h...

Profit Street won well on Saturday and runs again today carrying a 5lb winners penalty back at Lingfield. This is an apprentice, whips aren't allowed to be used.Profit Street needs a strong ride and a few reminders to put his mind on the job, but touch wood he'll be ok. We need to run and keep getting the bonus points for the aw horse of the year comp that ends shortly. We finished joint second i...

Back down to Lingfield today with Profit Street who needs to run again to keep building the points for the ARC aw bonus of the competition. We've had two second places so far this week, if Profit Street could match that or better it, we would be in a great position going into the last month of the competition.  Hopefully the petrol tank has recovered, and Profit Street can run well as he ha...

Only The Bold ran a brilliant race in the Eider Chase for his owners over the weekend, 2nd in of the big staying handicaps of the season. We head North again today with Myrighthandman who runs in the first race at Catterick. The trip of 2m on this speed track could be on the sharp side for our runner, who won a 3m P2P.  Myrighthandman will move up in trip in time, but after a wind op, we ne...

A massive night at Southwell with Constitution Hill running in the 7:30. This race is one of the most talked about ever, none stop for the past couple of weeks, we have a runner in the race.Miracles Do Happen meets all the criteria and once seeing the prize money put on, we had to give it a go. Miracles Do Happen is priced around 200-1, she'll outrun those odds without troubling the top horses i...

Walden runs at Ascot this afternoon in the 4:10. Conditions will be very testing and proper hard work, this 3m race will be a slog and a case of who stays the best.Walden is running over three miles for the first time, if he stays or not, your guess is good as mine. There is one way to find out. If Walden does get home, he'll have an EW chance at nice odds.

We travel to Southwell today, two horses in the same race. This isn't ideal, but it's how the cards have fallen, both horses need to run. Betties Bay runs again quickly as she's in with a shot at winning the £40,000 AW bonus. This stiffer track might not be in Betties favour whilst we have a bad draw. Betty has been impressive though in her two starts for us, with some luck in running hope...
