There's some high quality flat action today but the nap is running over the sticks at Bangor. On the face of it GUD DAY looks to have plenty to do against some on-form rivals in the Alfa Aggregates Handicap Hurdle (due off 4.15pm), but there are reasons for thinking he can outperform them here. The...

With no less than six UK meetings today, it will pay to be selective with your bets and we've found four horses to go to war with. A couple of the runners are running in competitive handicaps at Newmarket but look to have solid chances, while we've found a well-handicapped runner up at Thirsk. To c...

Newcastle fifth Perfect Poison looks the pick of those with experience and has scope for improvement but the interesting one here is WHEN I'M SIXTYFOUR. He's a full brother to smart hurdler/chaser Oscar Dan Dan and could go on to better things. Beau De Tabel and Kilfinichen Bay are other newcomers ...

LENNY BEE went close back on the Turf at Thirsk a week ago. An apprentice's allowance negates a 4lb rise and Garry Moss' charge is taken to go one better. Dream Catcher has been thereabouts on the Polytrack of late without looking like winning while though Italian Tom won this off a higher mark las...

KINDLY NOTE won on soft ground at Chepstow last year and can take advantage of a tumbling mark having hinted at a revival at Ffos Las last month. Midnight Macarena won by 19 lengths back over hurdles at Southwell but is now on a career-high mark and Twin Bud is still awaiting a first success after ...

The unbeaten Albasharah beat Rhagori at Kempton in October and returns to action off an 8lb higher mark. She has OOJOOBA to beat in this after the latter made her seasonal debut in a Listed contest at Goodwood when beaten only a length by Burke's Rock. Roger Varian's filly looks capable of ending a...

Master Milan was only beaten a short-head off a 7lb higher mark over hurdles at Wincanton last time but his record over fences is poor. Evella has the ability to win this if in the mood but she likes to get her own way out in front and tends to sulk if she doesn't get it and MISTER WISEMAN will als...

Intimidate looked more like his old self when scoring on the Polytrack last time and Lightning Launch will appreciate dropping down a grade after a couple of placed efforts in better company. OFF ART only won a maiden at Thirsk last time but has plenty of scope so Tim Easterby's colt gets the vote ...

ACCESSALLAREAS has been raised 14lb since completing a double at Southwell but Sarah-Jayne Davies' charge is in such good form that he may be able to complete the hat-trick. Coeur De Fou has been knocking on the door lately, however, and will be a threat but Captain Paulie is hard to predict and Fi...
