Good morning all,

Saturday’s Cheltenham card looks a lot more punter-enticing than Friday’s did, with a few handicaps to get stuck into.

I’ll once again be working at Cheltenham, either on the rail or in the ring, so say hello if you bump into me! Or indeed, have a bet with me!

Good morning all,

Well, what better way to welcome back the new Cheltenham season than with a Colossus?

For those unaware, I do a few of these throughout the winter on colossusbets.co.uk. In simple terms, they are like placepots, but with the option to take some money out at any time you’re still in. We’ve had some nice returns, and equally we’ve gone out on the first leg, but that’s the joy of Colossus for you.

I’ll put today’s bets up around 11am, you’ll find them under Captain Chutney on the syndicates page and you can add in as much or as little as you like. My thoughts on today’s card are in the main piece.

Morning all,

Inside today’s main piece I continue my look ahead to the weekend’s big race action and I have a selection from this afternoon’s meeting at Newton Abbot.

Before all that I know some of you like your stats. Well, I’m going to share an interesting one with you.

Morning all,

Not only is Cheltenham back this weekend but so is Aintree on Sunday. The feature race of the Aintree card is Grade 2 Old Roan Chase, whose previous winners include the likes of Kauto Star, Monet's Garden and Albertas Run. Yes, we can safely say the National Hunt game is cranking into gear.

Inside today’s main piece I have an ante post selection for the Old Roan Chase. Plus, I look at the Vertem Futurity and have a selection from today’s meeting at Newmarket.
