The Cheltenham December meeting gets underway on Friday 9th December (weather depending) and we have some exciting action lined up with the return of the Cross Country race and some trappy handicaps to solve. As always, we’d advise trying to…

11.55am – Optional can be right in the Mix in Fairyhouse opener A compelling days racing gets underway with an intriguing Mares Handicap Chase over two and a half miles. Minx Tiara sets the standards on official ratings, whilst Malina Girl…

1:30 Aintree  The opener on a great day of racing action is the Grade 2 Many Clouds Chase at Aintree. I think AHOY SENOR (11/8) can resume winning ways here after a poor display last time out in the Charlie Hall Chase.…

1:20 Newbury The 1:20 race is an interesting novice hurdle over the extended 2m4f trip. The one for me is RUSSIAN RULER (5/2). He was a decent bumper winner on debut at Warwick in a race that worked out well. He…

7:00 Keeneland  The first race on ITV is the Juvenile Turf Sprint, a Grade 1 over 5 and a half furlongs. Like all of the races the draw will have a huge part and that is exactly why I favour LOVE…

1:30 Ascot The opener from Ascot is a handicap chase limited to novices over 2m3f. I think GOSHEN (5/4) will make a winning debut over fences here. A previous winner here at Ascot over hurdles, he will obviously be well suited by…
