Good racing from Newmarket today, although very small fields. The first race is over the minimum trip of 5 furlongs. Dramatised heads the betting, she has a speedy pedigree, and is sure to be well tuned for her debut. However Malrescia also has a good pedigree, and at around 5/1, she is worth a bet each way.

I like Gubbass 2.25, he was staying on well in a good race last time, this race may be ran at a strong pace, as Noble Truth is keen in his races, so hopefully he might set the race up for a closer from off the pace, I expect Ryan Moore to give his mount a chance in the early stages, and be staying on well on the rise to the winning post.

Looking at todays racing, with 5 meetings in the UK. Lots of races to go through, the flat turf season is almost a month old, so the form is beginning to get a little bit clearer, as a large number of runners have had a run on the grass already. At Windsor this evening, the 7.25 is a maiden for three year olds and upwards, over 10 furlongs. Aerospace and Cosmic Desert head the betting market, both owned by Godolphin, but trained by two different trainers. It looks a toss of a coin between them both. With a slight preference for the latter, if I was to choose.

At Southwell on the all weather, Lady Clementine heads the betting in the 3.40, she has been running well and although not well drawn in 10, she has a good chance of winning, her likely main rival could be White Wolf, who is also poorly drawn in 13. The latter has yet to see a racecourse, but I have heard he has shown enough in his work at home, to run a big race on debut.

With a lot of racing already underway. A couple of strong favourites beaten at Aintree already, Edwardstone was a fair second in the 3.00, beaten at 8/13 by the trailblazing front runner Gentleman De Mee. And – Flooring Porter also a short priced favourite in the 3.35 race was beaten into second place, after making most of the running, he was collared going to the final flight by Sir Du Berlais, both winners ridden by Mark Walsh, who is a regular rider for winning owner JP Mcmanus.

Typical of two hot favourites, who won at Cheltenham, and then come to Aintree and do not quite run up to the same form.

At 5.15 the main race is the Grand National, backing the winner looks as difficult as ever. I have had two interest each way bets, Delta Work at 14/1 and Fiddlerontheroof at 12/1. I hope they can give me a run for my money. At the other meetings, Tigerbythetail 4.22 Bangor has been running fairly well, this looks a good opportunity for him to get his head in front, he has Fergus Gregory to guide him, and this young jockey rides well, so no excuses today.

Another good day yesterday for my subscribers. i advised Rozgar 2:35 Chantilly at 6/5, who won cosily under Christophe Soumillon.

Today at Aintree I like Jonbon 2:20, he ran a very good race last time at Cheltenham when second to a very good horse. Todays race is much easier, and if none the worse he can win.

Bravemansgame 2:55 would be my choice as well, he missed the festival and this slick jumper has ground which looks likely to be in his favour, as its drying out, which he likes.

Looking at the 4:05 Randox Topham Handicap chase over the Grand National fences, Fantastic Lady with 10.2 on her back is my idea each way at around 14/1, she jumps well and is honest.

More soon.

A good winner yesterday for my subscribers. Orrisdale 2:10 Hereford was advised yesterday at 13/8, he made most of the running, as predicted,staying on well to getting the better of his main rival Neville’s Cross.

Today sees two meetings from Windsor and Redcar on the level, with Kelso over jumps. I like Doyen Du Bar in the 5.15 Kelso. He has been absent for over a year, so improvement can be expected for his run today, but he was impressive on his debut last year, so he could take a lot of beating.

On the level, Primrose Ridge 1:00 Redcar looks a penalty kick. She was a good second last time , when a recent winner was third that day. She should get the job done for Jason Watson.

More soon.

Final day of the Cheltenham festival. Vauban 1.30 has looked a very good horse, he was beaten by his rival today Pied Piper on his hurdle debut, not beaten far. I think the race could be between them today, but do think Vauban might well get his revenge. At 2.50 Ginto lines up, he has won well on his three tries over hurdles in Ireland, he has a good chance of winning today, in what is a very competitive field.
The ground has been drying out , so should be good to soft, ideal jumping ground for everyone.

A good winner advised yesterday for my subscribers. He’s A Latchico 1.46 Lingfield was advised at 11/8 yesterday morning, well ridden by Rhys Clutterbuck who is good value for his 3lb claim.

Today at Compeigne, Influx 11.35 should prove too classy for his rivals, although the trip is a tad on the short side, he has the best jockey on top and runs here for a new stable today, he has also been gelded since his last run in June 2021.
I thought the UK cards were pretty tough to find winners, although a few i like.

More soon.

Already 3 races down at Marseille today. All three have gone to horses under Christophe Soumillion. He is riding very well, with an excellent strike rate. I did like the look of Jaafar in the 12.25 race at the track, he was unlucky last time, and if he gets a better ride today, he has a strong chance of winning.

Looking at the UK meetings, favourite backers should get off to a decent start at Wetherby, the 1.45 is an ideal chance for Our Bill’s Aunt to do the business. Slow ground at the Yorkshire track, although I do not think that will inconvenience the favourite.

More soon.

A good winner advised for my subscribers today. Crush And Run 3.45 Lingfield was advised at 2/1, he was given a positive ride by Shane Kelly, who managed to get a good position after a slow start. He stayed on strongly to win from the lesser fancied stable companion, to get the job done. Hopefully I can keep the decent run going over the next couple of days, already in a healthy profit for the month.

Looking at the later races today, I quite like Ludus 4.20 Lingfield.
More soon.

Quite a number of small fields today at Newbury. The first race at 1.15 sees Bravemansgame head the betting, he is around currently around evens, if his stable runners were in better form I would be tempted to back him, as he would probably be odds on if the horses were in good heart, with a strike rate of around 2 winners from over 30 runners, its a worry. This horse with top weight, has looked very slick over his fences in all three runs so far. And if healthy, will be hard to beat.

At Lingfield – True Icon 3.30 should be too good for her rivals, in what looks a weak event.

I am not a big fan of Saturday betting, as its the most difficult day to back a winner. So caution is a best option today, until the likes of Paul Nicholls yard can regain a run of form, its small stakes on any of his runners.
