Horse Racing Betting Tips: Copperhead set to strike in soft ground Reynoldstown February 13, 2020 WHAT better way to prepare for Cheltenham than with a slog over three miles on soft ground at Ascot? While most Festival hopefuls have had their final run before March, tomorrow’s Sodexo Reynoldstown Novices’ Chase (1.50pm) is a valuable race that’s attracted a handful of high class horses.

David Pipe on the City AM syndicate horse and his other weekend runners February 6, 2020 ALL EYES will be on the City A.M. syndicate horse COLLINGWOOD COURT in the novices’ hurdle (1.50pm) at Kempton today.

David Pipe takes a look at Saturday’s racing from Sandown January 31, 2020 LAST weekend was a really tough one for the yard as the huge high of winning with RAMSES DE TEILLEE up at Doncaster was overshadowed by losing WARTHOG at Cheltenham.

Horse Racing Betting Tips: Mare Honeysuckle to land sweet success over the boys January 31, 2020 TICKING off the days until Cheltenham gets a bit tedious. However, Leopardstown’s Dublin Racing Festival, with no less than eight Group Ones, does more than fill the gap.

David Pipe looks ahead to his weekend runners January 23, 2020 TRIALS Day at Cheltenham is always a great afternoon and we send two there tomorrow.

He will take his chance in the opening JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial (12.40pm), but is definitely being pitched in at the deep [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Highway the One to motor home on Festival Trials Day January 23, 2020 THERE are some cracking graded races on Festival Trials Day at Cheltenham tomorrow with the likes of Paisley Park and Santini running, but from a punting perspective I’m more interested in the Paddy Power 45 Sleeps To Cheltenham Trophy Handicap Chase (1.50pm).

David Pipe on his runners across the country on Saturday January 16, 2020 CONDITIONS ought to be ideal for CHAMPERS ON ICE in the Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock (2.40pm) tomorrow where he switches back from hurdles to fences.
