Hi all,

I finished my Friday tasks early, so I managed to put together a short Saturday column.

There’s good racing, but solid betting opportunities in the ITV races are scarce. I have plenty of fancies, but many aren’t value bets at current odds.

Not many tipsters would take a swing at a race in Saudi Arabia, but I am. You’ll find my selection inside.

Hi all,

Just 18 days to go until the Cheltenham Festival, and the excitement is building! I don’t know about you, but I’m getting pumped thinking about it. That said, we’ve got some solid weekends of racing before then, including this Saturday.

One thing worth noting—a major market mover in the Festival handicaps.

Hi all,

Inside today’s main piece I’m previewing today’s re-scheduled QuinnBet Grand National Trial Handicap Chase at Punchestown.

Hi all,

A bout of man flu kept me from Tuesday’s column, but yesterday’s weak spring sunshine lifted my spirits. With even milder weather ahead, it’s a welcome reminder that spring isn’t far off.

Meanwhile, the Cheltenham Festival preview circuit is about to hit top gear. Incredibly, we’re now just 20 days away from National Hunt racing’s Olympics. It’s all getting very real!

Inside today’s main piece, it’s a case of two columns in one. I’ve highlighted a couple of future winners from the weekend’s racing. Plus, I kick off the build-up to Saturday’s big races and look at one of the Ludlow handicaps.
