Hi all,

Inside today’s main piece, I’m looking at Saturday’s Imperial Cup at Sandown from a trends perspective. Plus, there are more Cheltenham Festival stats.

Hi all,

Inside today’s column, I have several horses who ran on Saturday and are worth keeping onside in the coming weeks. Plus, with the Cheltenham Festival just a week away, it’s time to start the countdown. Each day this week—and next Monday—I’ll be diving into some key Cheltenham trends.

Hi all,

A strong Saturday of competitive racing. No Grade 1s, but three big-field handicaps at Kelso, Doncaster, and Newbury for punters to get stuck into.

Inside, you can read my thoughts on Saturday’s racing.

Hi all,

Saturday is a huge day for Kelso, with the bet365 Morebattle Hurdle (3:30) headlining a top-class card. It’s supported by the Grade 2 Premier Novices' Hurdle (2:55) and the Listed Premier Chase (1:45)—all live on ITV Racing.

Elsewhere, Newbury hosts the BetVictor Greatwood Gold Cup (3:45), while Doncaster stages the Grimthorpe Chase (3:15). Both feature in a marathon 10-race ITV Racing programme, with five races from Kelso, three from Doncaster, and two from Newbury.

I looked at the big Kelso and Newbury races earlier in the week. Inside is my take on the three Doncaster races you can watch live on ITV Racing.
