7:41 Del Mar The first race we will look at is the Group 1 Turf Sprint over 5f. I find it hard to get away from COGBURN (6/4), who has been a star sprinter this season on the US shores. Three…

1:30 Ascot We have four live races from Ascot. The first is the 1:30 and it is a handicap chase over 2m3f. The one for me is LEADER IN THE PARK (5/2). This previous point-to-point winner looks sure to relish going over the larger…

1:15 Cheltenham The first race from Cheltenham is a novice handicap chase over 2m4f. The one I like is LORD OF THUNDER (8/1) EW. A progressive hurdler last season, he finished off with two decent victories at Wincanton over this intermediate trip. He has…

1:20 Ascot The first race on Champions Day is the Long Distance Cup. A Group 2 for the stayers over the 2-mile trip. At the prices, it’s BURDETT ROAD (28/1) EW. He’s a very talented dual performer who put up a…

1:15 Newmarket The first race is the Group 3 Darley Stakes over the 1m1f trip. The one for me is LEAD ARTIST (5/2) NAP. This progressive 3 year-old looks up to landing this Group 3 race. He was a good winner at…

12:55 Longchamp The first of six Group 1’s at Longchamp is the Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac. A race for the 2 year-old fillies over the mile. I find it hard to get away from ZARIGANA (4/5) in this. Unbeaten in two starts,…

1:30 Newmarket The opener on Saturday’s ITV coverage is the 1:30 from Newmarket. It is a fillies handicap over 1m2f. I like ASHIRABA (11/2) here. This progressive 3 year-old filly is improving well this season and has won 3 of his last…

1:15 Newmarket  The first of five live races from HQ comes up at 1:15pm. It is the Jersey Lily Fillies Nursery handicap over the 7f trip. The horse I like is MAGIC LOVE (6/1) from the Harry Charlton stable. After three mediocre…

1:15 Ayr The opener on Saturday is a 1m handicap for horses rated between 0-100. I’ve landed on OBELIX (6/1) who bounced right back to form last time out when running out an impressive winner at Haydock. He’s still well-handicapped based on…

1:50 Doncaster The opener on St Leger Day is the Champagne Stakes. It is a Group 2 for the 2 year-old colts ran over 7f. It is BAY CITY ROLLER (7/1) for me here at the prices. Unbeaten in two career…
