Inside today’s main piece you’ll find my thoughts on Sunday’s action on ITV.

If its quality racing you’re after, then the Punchestown card is for you. However, there are also several interesting handicap puzzles on the Exeter card.

Evening all,

It’s a case of small fields at Ascot. The star act is of course the return of Constitution Hill in the Grade 2 Coral Hurdle (2.40). The likes of L’Homme Presse and Edwardstone also make their seasonal returns on the card. The meeting seems likely to steal the headlines away from Haydock where it’s Betfair Chase Day. That would be a shame because we have Gold Cup winner A Plus Tard making his seasonal return in the Betfair Chase (3:00). Haydock’s seven race card is also superior to Ascot’s from a betting perspective.

Inside today’s main piece I look at the best of the action from both tracks.

Evening all,

The first of two days of racing at Ascot gets underway with seven race card that contains some decent looking handicaps. There are also jumps fixtures this afternoon at Catterick and Chepstow. The days action concludes with all-weather cards at Kempton and Dundalk this evening.

Inside today’s main piece I look at the two handicap chases on the Ascot card.

Evening all,

With all the excitement of last weekend’s Cheltenham’s November Meeting. I completely forgot the final instalment of trainer and their use of first time headgear series. I have rectified that this week.

There's plenty to get through today. Inside today’s main piece I look at trainers and their use of cheekpieces for the first time. Plus, I continue my look ahead to Saturday’s action.
