Good morning all,

I'm catching up with the racing from over the Christmas period (slowly but surely!) and there's quite a few that catch the eye. A couple might well have Cheltenham targets, but there are a few others that ought to be winning in midweek races too, so there's something for everyone.

Plus a big-priced selection from Uttoxeter.

Morning all,

The big race caravan comes to halt today and after all the sustained quality of the last few days, it’s a bit of relief.

There are just three meetings today. Jump cards at Haydock and Taunton and a tea time all-weather fixture at Wolverhampton.

Inside today’s main piece I look back at yesterday’s action at Leopardstown and Newbury. Plus, a couple of today’s races at Haydock come under the microscope.

Morning all,

I hope you had a good Christmas and Boxing Day.

The rain came in over Christmas and that meant an easing the ground across Britain & Ireland. There were some big crowds around the various racecourses in England as you would expect for Boxing Day. I was at Wetherby and there was a large crowd at the West Yorkshire and so it seemed at Kempton. For some of the people I spoke to at Wetherby. I got the sense that they thought it maybe a final chance to watch the racing live before restrictions come back in January.

Inside today’s main piece. I look back to yesterday’s King George VI Chase at Kempton.  Plus, I look ahead to today’s Welsh Grand National and three other races at the Welsh track.

Good afternoon, and a Merry Christmas to you all!

I hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas Day. We've just had a lovely walk to work up an appetite for lunch, and then it's time for the presents. Of course, the best of the presents won't arrive for us racing fans until tomorrow, with some superb action from Kempton and the rest of the week too!

Soi before you tuck into the turkey, here are my thoughts on Kempton's Boxing Day card!
