German raider Namos set to upset Hungerford rivals at 12/1 August 14, 2020 EARLIER this week legendary Newmarket trainer Sir Michael Stoute tragically lost his partner Coral Pritchard-Gordon to a long-term illness. There would therefore be no more fitting winner of Saturday’s feature Hungerford Stakes (3.35pm) at Newbury than the Stoute-trained favourite Dream Of Dreams. Champion jockey Oisin Murphy is booked to ride the six-year-old and there certainly [...]

Any further rain will only help his cause and he looks a leading player. I’m also [...]
Nearly half a million up for grabs in Saturday’s huge Tote Scoop6 rollover August 14, 2020 Another week, another huge rollover for the Tote Scoop6. Eight consecutive Saturdays without a winner means there is over £340,000 rolling into this week’s fund, so there is every chance that as much as £450,000 will be up for grabs. Remember, you don’t even have to name all six winners to pick up a decent [...]
So Beloved looks like Tomorrow’s Dream bet August 7, 2020 LOOKING at the rest of this weekend’s action, the best betting opportunities could come at Haydock. Global Giant looks a worthy favourite for the Rose Of Lancaster Stakes (2.40pm). He continues to take giant strides forward since leaving Ed Dunlop’s care and will likely take plenty of beating here. However, that hasn’t been lost on [...]

High fives all round when Kimi lands Stewards’ Cup July 30, 2020 FINDING the winner of the 28-runner Unibet Stewards’ Cup (3.35pm) is never easy, but favourites have won three of the last five runnings and they were all progressive three-year-old sprinters. There are two from that age group in Saturday’s field and they will be on opposite sides of the track. Considering his fine record at [...]
Vale Of Kent absolutely loves it in Sussex July 30, 2020 YOU don’t get many more competitive handicaps than the Unibet Golden Mile (2.45pm), although this year is a relatively small field with just 15 runners going to post. That could make the draw slightly less important than normal as a high number is usually a curse in this race. In the past decade, nine winners [...]
Invitational has just One to Master July 30, 2020 WHEN Space Blues won Tuesday’s Lennox Stakes, we saw a horse who thrives over seven furlongs and the same can be said of ONE MASTER who looks to hold strong claims in Friday’s equivalent for fillies and mares, the Oak Tree Stakes (1.45pm). William Haggas’ mare has run 18 times in her career and of her five wins, [...]
Buildmeupbuttercup won’t break your heart in Galway Hurdle July 29, 2020 AS WITH Goodwood this week, it has been strange to watch Galway without the normal huge crowds and general hullabaloo. That won’t matter one bit, though, to whoever wins Thursday’s valuable Guinness Galway Hurdle (6.45pm). Willie Mullins has won two of the last four runnings and another victory would see him become the race’s winning [...]
