    Sandown and Aintree - saturday 3/12/2016

    12.20 Sandown – Barry Rawlings “What A Year” “National Hunt” Novices’ Hurdle. Ten go to post for this novices’ hurdle, but there’s a few that look like deadwood straight away and it’s difficult to make much of a case for anything outside the first 5 in racecard order. Dashing Oscar carries a...

    1.35 Newmarket – The Newmarket Academy Godolphin Beacon Project Cornwallis Stakes (Group 3) A fairly trick y opening to proceedings but the unbeaten MRS DANVERS has improved with every start so far and could be up to making it 5/5. She was reported as somewhat of a fairytale story prior to...

    1.45 York – Betfred Supports Jack Berry House Stakes (Handicap) In yet another competitive middle-distance handicap, the three-year-olds look to have an advantage given they’re receiving an 8lb weight allowance, but when you look at the past nine runnings of the race, no three-year-old has...

    Yorks Ebor Meeting Day 3 - 19/8/2016

    1.55 York – Sky Bet First Race Special Stakes (Handicap) This looks like a pretty trappy affair to open proceedings and there isn’t really a standout in the field. Barsanti arguably has the best form on offer having finished placed in a pair of Listed events on his last two starts. However...
