Another carrying a penalty is Chicker, an impressive bumper winner at Cheltenham before not disgracing himself at both the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals, got off the mark over hurdles at the first time of asking. Jet Of Stars was a

Sam King pinpoints a pair of runners this Tuesday who he's siding with to beat the bookmakers. 14:40 BEVERLEY Richard Hannon’s Call Me Tomorrow has been handed some tough assignments since her promising debut earlier in the season. She struggled in a warm event at Newbury last time but should find this significantly easier, while the recent wind operation ought to make a difference. She comes out best at the weights here and can get off the mark. CALL ME TOMORROW (WIN) 16:20

Matt Polley heads up north to Scotland with action from Hamilton to kick start the week. 14:47 HAMILTON Obviously the Goldie team are usually worth following here and Humble Spark is a big player here taking a drop in grade. Unchartedterritory is a three year old on the improve and he should be thereabouts. Florida Dreams is certainly the most interesting candidate here. He was well punted on his flat handicap debut, but refused to enter the stalls. The main priority at Yor

Pundit Dean Kilbryde heads to Ayr and Newbury for his best bets this Friday. 15:05 AYR Beautiful Diamond boasts an exemplary record at Ayr, winning three from four, all at Listed level, including this race last year. She hasn’t won yet this season but has made the frame in three from four including a Group 2 race on penultimate run and looks primed for another big effort today. Luna A Inbhir Nis finished four lengths behind Beautiful Diamond in this race last season and has

Alan Morris previews two of Thursday's races as he goes on the hunt for winners as the working week draws to a close. 14:30 AYR Krissy is continuing in good form for Rhys Elliott and will set a good target here from the front that the rest must be alive to. The expensive and well-bred Darzah was unraced at 2 but has won twice already and should improve for the step up to 10f. The Haggas yard is having a strong Autumn and does well here, this looks a soft opportunity for the

Pundit Liam Hall heads to numerous meetings this Wednesday as he pinpoints four runners he's backing to turn 'hump day' into a profitable one. 14:31 YARMOUTH Bidsta looked a filly with plenty of class when going down by just a head at Newbury on debut, should have no issues making it second time lucky here. Cuban Promise could be worth a little way punt here as improvement is likely and is bred to have a future. BIDSTA (WIN) 14:55 SANDOWN Saint Of Seville is out of a class

Sam King returns with his best bets for Tuesday's action as he pinpoints a pair of runners worth backing. 13:53 REDCAR The recent gelding operation can see Blake's Monarch strike at the fourth time of asking. He showed some classy form to finish tenth in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot having previously filled the runner-up spot at Wolverhampton. Dropping back to five furlongs here looks to be a good move and he can make the 4lb he receives from likely main market rival Mu

Matt Polley has been on a rich run of form of late and pinpoints two runners worth following to kick-start the week. 14:51 THIRSK We’re at the time of year where horses can change out of all recognition, and these nurseries are a prime example. Breaking The Habit and Ma Fille De Reve are interesting on handicap debut, however the top weight filly Dissenter already has some decent form in the book and will certainly appreciate this drop back to six furlongs. She should be ru

The St Leger Festival draws to a close on Sunday, but there's still plenty of quality action to get stuck into as Doncaster brings the curtain down on its four-day meeting. Town Moor provides a mixture of competitive handicaps and Group-race action, while across the Irish Sea the Curragh stages another high-class card featuring some of the most exciting runners from Britain and Ireland. We preview Sunday's televised action from Doncaster and the Curragh and pick out our best

The St Leger understandably dominates the headlines this Saturday, but there are plenty of betting opportunities to be found away from the terrestrial television coverage. While much of the attention will be focused on the feature races from Doncaster, Racing Daily pundit Rory Paddock goes around the courses in search of some alternative selections from elsewhere on a busy afternoon and evening of Saturday racing. With picks from Bath, Doncaster, Musselburgh and Lingfield, he

The St Leger Festival continues at Doncaster on Friday, with five races shown live on ITV and plenty of competitive action to get stuck into. The two-year-olds once again take centre stage early on, while the Leger Legends provides its usual mix of familiar faces and big-priced possibilities. Group-race action follows later on the card, with some high-class performers taking to the Town Moor track. We preview all five televised races and pick out our best bets for day two of

The two-year-olds take a good chunk of the limelight on the opening day of Doncaster's St Leger meeting, with three of the five live races featuring the youngsters as we preview every race shown live on ITV this Thursday. 13:15 DONCASTER A third-place finish behind the impressive Sun Goddess at York looks among the strongest pieces of form on offer, and that gives Speed Of Sound obvious claims on her handicap debut. Richard Spencer's filly should find this a slightly easier a

Alan Morris heads to both Epsom and Doncaster for his best bets of the day this Thursday. 16:52 EPSOM A few of these have shown their best already this year in lower grades and are looking a little exposed at the back end of the season. Royal Bodyguard should be in the mix but Wild Dahlia looks to have more potential to progress beyond this grade and the early favourite. The 3yo filly can be forgiven a disappointment on softish going over further around Hamilton from a wide

Former jockey turned pundit Liam Hall pinpoints a trio of runners he's backing this Wednesday. 15:54 REDCAR Golden Caviar is the selection here, looks a fair mark for his handicap debut, is sure to step forward now he's been gelded and this son of Wotton Basset should rate much higher by the end of the season. Sweet Kiss deserves a success but is likely to play second fiddle again. GOLDEN CAVIAR (WIN) 18:30 KEMPTON Lex Victoria (1-1) is likely to be all the rage here, won

After a week of solid action, Alan Morris picks out a pair of recent runners who've made it onto his hotlist and you should pay close attention to them in the weeks and months ahead. FLIGHTOFTHEPHOENIX (C HILLS) Flightofthephoenix has shown improved form in recent runs, breaking her long-standing maiden status with two wins in August. As a 4yo filly there is still scope for further improvement from a mark of only 73 having made the breakthrough as a winner. She has shown fl

After bagging a double the other week, pundit Matt Polley returns with two runners from Wolverhampton not to ignore this Monday. 17:30 WOLVERHAMPTON There’s an obvious one in here by the name of Lady Of Hay making her nursery debut, but there’s a big chance she’ll be over bet purely on her connections. She is overlooked in favour of the more exposed Sable Island. She ran really well here last time in a slightly better race, but found the sixth furlong a bit far. This trip i

John Arnold looks ahead to one of the most competitive sprint handicaps of the season. He takes a deep dive into the race and picks out three runners not to ignore for the Scottish showpiece. History: The Ayr Gold Cup, first established in 1966, is one of the most prestigious sprint races in the UK and is held annually at Ayr Racecourse in Scotland. Designed for thoroughbred horses aged three years and older, this exciting flat race is run over a distance of 6 furlongs and ha

Saturday's live ITV action comes from Haydock, Ascot, and Kempton, with plenty of intriguing stories to unfold by the end of the day. A Group 1 contest, competitive handicaps, and a jumps racing legend on display. 13:25 HAYDOCK Without a win for over a year, Dancing Gemini could finally return to winning ways now dropped into Group 3 company. At the age of five, he's far from past it and the eye-catching booking of William Buick gives him plenty in his favour. The lightly ra

While much of the attention will naturally fall on the races covered by the terrestrial TV cameras this Saturday, there’s still plenty of action elsewhere for punters to get stuck into. Racing Daily’s Rory Paddock turns his attention away from the main televised contests and searches for value across the rest of Saturday’s cards, with six races from Navan, Kempton, Haydock, Ascot and Newcastle making the shortlist. 14:35 NAVAN Despite this looking a wide-open contest with suc
