Hi all,

Here’s my recap of  Saturday’s Future Champions card at Newmarket.

Hi all,

There’s more Group 1 action on Saturday, with the juvenile colts taking centre stage in the Darley Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket. It promises to be a fascinating and high-quality renewal, with Distant Storm heading the market.

Saturday’s main betting heat, the Cesarewitch Handicap, has drawn just 21 runners but that won’t make it any easier puzzle to solve. I covered the big staying handicap in Wednesday’s column, so no need to go over old ground here.

Instead, today’s focus is on the three ITV races from York, where some strong handicaps and a Listed sprint take centre stage are highlights of the York Finale.

Hi all,

There’s a mammoth ten races to be shown live on ITV this afternoon. Inside today’s main piece, I’ve looked at two of them from Newmarket's Future Champions Meeting.

Hi all,

In today’s main piece, I continue my look ahead to the weekend, focusing on Chepstow’s new three-day Welsh Racing Festival.
