Thanks to Cairnzy for filling in on the thread in my absence. It was nice to see the big lad come back and put up a winner in the shape of Lambourn, who stayed on well under Ryan Moore at Chester, in the style of a progressive horse. Mount Kilimanjaro 15/8 (2pt) – Chester 2.35 Even though I don’t think […]

Scoville made a winning debut at Windsor, beating the Gosden horse, who had plenty of experience over him. It was an impressive run by the William Haggas runner, who was extremely strong in the betting, which made me think we were in with a very strong chance. Tom Marquand positioned prominently and was stride for stride with his main market […]

I will not be backing Running Lion again. It was always a risk, as he is an enigma, and does blow hot or cold, which I stated in the preview. But even if she was on a going day, she’d have struggled to beat the winner, who was ultra-impressive. Galen 11/2 – Curragh 4.10 Firstly, it’s great to see White […]

Unfortunately, I will not be able to do a recap of Saturday’s racing as this thread is being completed in the morning and I am out for the rest of the day. Running Lion 2/1 – Newmarket 2.20 Running Lion is a bit of an enigma, as she is either hot or cold, with a very rare in between. With […]

The same comments apply from the main thread. I am out for most of the day on Saturday and will not be able to speak about the performances of the Lucky 15. Without knowing the odds of the bottom two selections, it’s hard to say whether to go for an each-way or straight Lucky 15. However, given the price of […]

It’s been a while since we’ve published a Lucky 15 thread, but this will return on a weekend basis, as that is when the best racing is on. Advised as an each-way Lucky 15 Washington Heights 9/2 (4pl) – Newmarket 2.55 This is a tricky race as we have some horses with proven Group 1 form, but aren’t 100% to […]

Lazzat was the obvious pick at Chantilly, and despite him being a short price, I thought he deserved to be odds-on. Back in Listed company, it seemed like a no-brainer backing Lazzat as he is a Group 1 horse and dropping down several grades meant he would find it much easier, which was proven to be right. The Yellow Clay […]

Tribalist was the main play on Thursday, and he delivered the goods at Saint-Cloud. Thankfully, Mickael Barzalona stuck to the plan of getting the lead on this horse, and he set the right gallop and was ultimately too good for the rest of the field, winning the race for a third year in a row. My other selection at Punchestown […]

Honesty Policy ran well in defeat against the favourite, who definitely outstayed him to get the victory. If the favourite jumped well, like he did at Cheltenham, it was always going to be an uphill task to beat him as he had the best form in the race. With a furlong left to run, and a messy jump at the […]

Tuesday’s selection was horrible, to say the least. He wasn’t positioned great, and was switched multiple times, but he never looked like winning so you can’t really complain too much with the ride. Honesty Policy 9/4 – Punchestown 4.15 Yet again, Punchestown looks ridiculously hard to get stuck into, mainly the handicaps, but I do think Honesty Policy was worth […]

Monday’s tips were dreadful to say the least, and I did expect a lot more from them, even if they weren’t to win, I thought they’d be going close. Youthful King was his usual keen going self, but wasn’t overly keen so for him to go out like a light was very poor, and it’s safe to say that I […]

I cannot believe the ride Mickael Barzalona gave Map Of Stars, as I definitely think we should’ve walked away with two wins on Sunday. Map Of Stars was positioned in second last for the entire race, but Mickael didn’t move on his mount until very late, and by that point, the horses ahead of him had already gone for the […]

We definitely should have walked away with two wins on Saturday, but Paul Townend didn’t respect the cash! Kitzbuhel found himself travelling nicely into the race, but for whatever reason, Paul Townend managed to find no space in a six-runner field, which is pretty incredible. It took a while for him to get a gap, and a while to accelerate, […]

It was nice to walk away with at least one winner on Friday, but it wasn’t the horse I expected it to be. See The Fire looked in need of the run for her run at Sandown. She loomed up on the outside like she was coming with a winning run, but as soon as she hit the front, she […]

It was frustrating not to walk away with two winners on Thursday, but getting one win is definitely better than none. Hyperchromatic did not look like winning from an early stage, but then he started to stay on firmly, and there was a glimpse of hope in the final furlong that he might be able to squeeze up the rail […]

Three runners became two on Wednesday due to a non-runner, and it was probably for the best as the two who did run didn’t exactly cover themselves in glory… I thought the Lucinda Russell outsider didn’t run too badly in the grand scheme of things. He was never put into the race, being anchored in last spot for 99% of […]

I didn’t get the time to watch Topofthecotswolds, but I did manage to catch the final two runners, and jumping was a big issue for both. Atlanta Brave looked atrocious, and when he went backwards, he went backwards very quickly and was eventually pulled up. One of the worst performances I’ve seen from a horse I’ve put up in recent […]

Bank Holiday Monday didn’t exactly go according to plan, but I do think there were a couple of very poor rides on both of my selections. Paul Townend didn’t look like he was too bothered about the race, and never put the horse in the race. The horse didn’t jump particularly well, but knowing he is a good front runner, […]

It was a painful watch on Havaila as he was back to his old tricks of not following through with the win when having it in the palm of his hands, but I can’t be frustrated with the jockey, as Sam Twiston-Davies did everything right. He is a quirky horse, and Sam did everything right as he smuggled him into […]

I thought Glynn struggled throughout his race, but Sam Twiston-Davies gave him every chance when turning for home, but he remained to be laboured as the well-backed winner did it nicely. Despite the opening selection not winning, we came away with two winners at decent prices for Saturday’s racing, which we’ll take every day of the week. Scarface was brave […]

Friday’s selections were a couple of duds at the AW Champions Day up at Newcastle. The horse in the opener never looked happy. I could see David Egan moving his arms after a few furlongs, and I knew the race was over before it properly began. Heathcliff also looked off. He had a horrible head carriage, which made it difficult […]

We were down to one runner on Thursday as Metkayina was a non-runner. The short-priced Willie Mullins selection was far too free throughout the race, and Danny didn’t try and fight her, attempting to make all, which I didn’t mind. Whether or not the keeness was a big enough factor for such a poor performance in a weak race, I’m […]

The headline tip, Yes Day, was given an awful ride in my opinion. I do try not to slate jockeys, poor rides happen all the time, but the way he had Yes Day in last position miles off the pace was ludicrous. When you’re that far off the pace with a lap to go, one mistake or some slow jumps, […]

Physique in the opener at Newmarket didn’t run to how I and how the market expected him to. Perhaps we got it wrong based on his previous run, or maybe the track didn’t suit him. King Of Cities ran a belter the race afterwards, finishing second to the favourite. The front two pulled miles clear of the third, and I’m […]

It was a profitable return from France for the Adrian Murray stable as Arizona Blaze made the most from a nice break from the stalls and nicked the race at Chantilly. The race looked over two furlongs from home as Arizona Blaze was travelling smoothly under David Egan whilst a few were already under the pump. When David asked Arizona […]
