1:00 Epsom The opener on Derby Day is the Princess Elizabeth Stakes, a Group 3 contest over the extended mile.  The one I like is ROYAL DRESS (9/2). A really consistent mare who brings a decent level of both recent form…

1:30 Epsom  The opener on Paks Day is the 3-year-old Surrey Stakes, a listed contest over 7f. The horse I like is SAQQARA SANDS (11/2), trained by Ralph Beckett. Beckett is very good at bringing his fillies along and I expect…

1:48 Haydock The opener from Haydock on ITV is a handicap over 6f. The horse I like is FINE INTERVIEW (4/1). A progressive 3 year-old handicapper last season, he made a really encouraging reappearance effort when finishing third in a competitive handicap…

1:15 Haydock The first race from Haydock is a tricky mile handicap. The one for me is CANDONOMORE (8/1) EW, who comes into this race in career-best form and is thriving at the start of this 2025 campaign. A winner on both…

12:50 Newbury The first race from Newbury is the Group 3 Aston Park Stakes over the 1m4f trip. I like SUNWAY in here. He was a very smart 3-year-old last season finishing second in the Group 1 Irish Derby as well…

1:15 Lingfield The opener from Lingfield is the Oak Trial, a listed contest over an extended 1m3f. The favourite GISELLE (no bet) will take the world of beating here for the Coolmore operation. She was the best of these by a good…

1:45 Newmarket The opener from HQ on 2000 Guineas Day is a trappy 6f handicap. I like WOODHAM WONDER (9/2) in here for the Tom Ward stable. A progressive three-year-old last season before tailing off towards the end of the season after…

4.50 The Grade 2 Mares chase sees Cheltenham 1-2 reoppose in Dinoble and BRIDES HILL (7/1) as well as the unlucky Alegorie De Vassey. I am taking a chance on Gavin Cromwell’s mare to turn the form as I simply…

After the Bloodbath of Day 1, Day 2 returned to relative normality. Willie Mullins trained favourites won all 3 grade 1s on the day. For our picks, Kaid Dauthie provided a much needed winner, while the King of Prs picked…

As we examine the cards day 2 of the 2025 Punchestown Festival, it should be noted that Punchestown can often throw up some funny results, and yesterday did just that! Some horses have been to multiple festivals and have just…
