Merry King & Fingal Bay in Hennessy
Our Winning streak came to a halt last weekend but Big Easy did us proud finishing second. Today, we target excellent Grade 3 Hennessy Gold Cup. This race has proved a very happy hunting ground for second season chasers who are a step ahead of the handicapper. 23 of the last 30 winners started in the first four in the…

Big Easy in Brush Hurdle
What a cracking run from Caid du Berlais and ride by Sam Twiston-Davies to win the Paddy Power Gold Cup last weekend. That’s a hat-trick of big Saturday winners for this blog and today we seek a fourth. Big Easy & Vieux Lion Rouge are the two against the field this weekend. Big Easy looked to have it all to…

Caid Du Berlais in Paddy Power Gold Cup
The Paddy Power Gold Cup is the first major handicap chase of the National Hunt season and what a cracking race to try and work out. There are plenty of angles that we can come from but following yesterday’s “breath taking” chasing debut win from Champagne West, I think progeny of Westerner is a good angle. Last weekend in Ireland…

Open Eagle to Star in November Handicap
I hope you backed Road to Riches last Saturday and managed to get the 8/1 on offer from Bet Victor. He is on an upward curve for sure and jumped super if a bit to his left! Today, we revert to the flat for the turf season finale and the November handicap in the race we target. Last year this…

Choose the Road to Riches
Dashing Star did us proud last weekend battling hard to get back up for second place but that was on the flat and we switch codes today. It’s that time of the year when we welcome back our favourites Jumpers and look forward to a few cracking trials on route to glory at the spring jumping festivals. Today we concentrate…

Back Dashing Star at Donny
Dashing Star has proved somewhat frustrating having not won a race since June 2013. However, he has run some cracking races in defeat especially his run when fourth behind De Rigueur at Haydock this summer. That run was over today’s trip of a mile and a half which seems to bring the best out of this tough galloping type. He…

Dream of Gabrial’s Kaka Landing Balmoral
The key to British Champions Day this year is the heavy ground which will see the summer and autumn form turned upsides down. There is just the six races with three Group 1’s, two Group 2’s and a 28 runner Class 2 handicap. Of course the race that is most intriguing from a value betting perspective is that Balmoral Handicap…

De Rigueur to Land Cesarewitch for Botti
Well, the pressure is well and truly on to bag the Cesarewitch winner following Bronze Angel and Intransigent doing the business the past two weekends. The fact that there is 36 runners and a bend to negotiate with 9 furlongs to go all points to this race being a bookies benefit. That is how the past two renewals have worked…

Redvers or Intransigent to Rattle Home In Challenge Cup
We enjoyed a tremendous Cambridgeshire last week backing the 1st, 2nd and 4th home. However sweet the victories they are very short lived in the racing world and it’s another cracking handicap this time the Challenge Cup at Ascot that we take aim at today. The two horses I like in this race, Redvers & Intransigent need skilful riding as…

Nice Of You To Tell Me the Cambridgeshire Winner
James Doyle enjoyed a tremendous day at Ayr last Saturday winning the Ayr Gold Cup on Louis the Pious to bag a treble. I think this smooth operator can bag another big Saturday winner today in the 35 runner Cambridgeshire aboard Niceofyoutotellme trained by Ralph Beckett. Yesterday, I spent way too much time trying to figure out this puzzle and…

Now, here is the preview direct from the desk of Nicky Doyle… Low or High is the big question regarding the Ayr…

Seeking Magical Saturday Treble
A Tsunami of top quality racing today and tomorrow has racing fans are spoilt for choice! I cannot remember such a programme of racing taking place and all under Sunny conditions. Rather than focusing on one race as per usual we will shake things up this weekend and target three of the plethora of competitive races on offer. First up…

Gordon Lord Byron Ready for Sprint Cup Double
Gordon Lord Byron tries to defend his Sprint Cup crown at Haydock today and should be the favourite in my book. There is no doubting Sole Power is the faster animal but he is best over 5 furlongs as seen at Royal Ascot and York. In fact Sole Power has failed to win in all his five starts over today’s…

Zibelina to Win Atalanta Stakes
Godolphin run two fillies in this Group 3 stakes race with French filly Fintry a short priced favourite. However, there are reasons for believing it’s Zibelina that holds the best chance of winning! Andre Fabre has been very open & honest regarding the chances of favourite Fintry stating that she has had a “serious cough” that has resulted in “a long…

Godolphin to Strike in “Ebor”
There is a very strong chance the winner of today’s Ebor handicap will come from those that ran without winning in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot back in June. Havana Cooler has just missed the line up as second reserve while Dashing Star (my original fancy) does not line up for reasons unknown. That leaves Elidor, Aussie…

James to strike on Bondesire in Great St Wilfrid
The Great St Wilfrid Stakes is the best betting race of the day and no better trainers to have onside than Richard Fahey & David O’Meara who have trained the past three winners of this race. The big question of course is which one as Fahey has four runners & O’Meara has two live chances! It’s always a good policy…

Elhaame to Strike for Cumani at Haydock
Elhaame might just go some distance to proving worth his hefty looking 160k price tag today. He improved significantly last season for the step up to 10 furlongs and that trip might be the key to this horse. Trainer Luca Cumani has raced Elhaame just the twice this season and on both occasions over 1m4f where he ran much too…

Sam or Star to take Stewards Cup
One of my favourite sprint races each year is the Stewards’ Cup which takes centre stage on the final day of Glorious Goodwood. 28 runners running flat to the boards with loads of hard luck stories in running make these handicaps very exciting and especially if you bag a winner. Bet Alchemist members have had a stonking good week so…
