Morning all,

It’s not often we get a big race in midweek at this stage of the jumps season. So today were in for a bit of treat with the latest renewal of Thyestes Chase at Gowran Park.  I preview today’s big race inside the main piece.

Morning all,

Unfortunately, I had a few technical problems with Microsoft Office yesterday which meant I had to reinstall the software. Of course, this meant I couldn’t produce Tuesday’s article. Well, I’m back on track today. Albeit a day late with Tracker Tuesday becoming ‘Tracker Wednesday’ and my look ahead to Saturday’s big race action. Plus, I will be looking at the Thyestes Handicap Case in Thursday column. This means there won’t be a ‘Path To Cheltenham’ piece this week.

The WIFI down here in Wiltshire is better that at home which is a big positive. Anyway, I have three horses for the tracker. Plus, I have a selection from today’s teatime meeting at Kempton.

Morning all,

It promised to be interesting and informative weekend. The ‘Clash of the Titans” and the race of the season so far took place at Ascot on Saturday. Meanwhile up at Haydock Jonbon was bidding to enhance his Supreme Novice Hurdle claims in the Grade 2 Sky Bet Supreme Trial Rossington Main Novices' Hurdle.

By the time you read this I will be on the road. I’m heading way for a few days away in Wiltshire. It’s a good opportunity for a mid-season break to recharge the batteries. However, I shall still be doing my Tuesday to Thursday columns as normal, albeit they will likely be shorter than normal.

Today I’m looking back at Saturday’s big race action. Plus, there’s a Monday tip from Kempton at the end of the main piece.  

Morning all,

An early morning optician’s appointment for yours truly means a shorter main piece today. In today’s main piece there is another ante post selection in my “Path to Cheltenham” series. Plus, a selection from Wincanton’s Somerset National.
