Rory Paddock pinpoints a duo of runners worth keeping a close eye on this Sunday who could do far better than their odds might suggest. 13:52 FFOS LAS If you believe the old saying "Horses for courses" then you'd be happy to side with River Voyage, who's won his last two starts here at Ffos Las. Hailing from a yard that claimed a Grade 1 last week the stable are in good early-season form. If the eight-year-old is fit for his seasonal return, he should go close. RIVER VOYAGE

Saturday's ITV Racing action features a competitive afternoon of racing from Aintree and Doncaster, with some intriguing contests across both Flat and jumps cards. There are plenty of familiar names, progressive contenders and established performers to get stuck into, but with several competitive handicaps on the agenda, finding a bit of value could prove crucial. Rory Paddock runs through the televised action and highlights his selections for what promises to be an entertain

Away from Saturday's live ITV coverage, there's still plenty of action for punters to get stuck into, with Doncaster and Southwell providing a couple of interesting betting opportunities. Rory Paddock turns his attention to the afternoon's non-televised action and highlights two runners who could be worth following at potentially attractive prices. 15:55 DONCASTER When it comes to Doncaster, course form counts for plenty, which is why course-and-distance winner Fine Interview

Steeplechasing has been scrapped from two cards next week after the British Horseracing Authority confirmed a run of changes to the Jump programme, with a dry forecast leaving racecourses unable to guarantee suitable ground over fences. Lingfield Park on Tuesday 10 November and Hereford on Thursday 12 November will both lose their chases and stage hurdle-only cards instead. The governing body announced the alterations on Thursday 5 November. Replacement races added To fill th

ITV Racing heads to Aintree and Hexham this Friday, with eight live races to get stuck into. Team Skelton are out in force at Aintree, but there’s plenty of value to be found away from the big yards too. From a bold forecast and tricast play in the opener to an each-way chance in the finale, here are our selections for every televised race, plus the one we’re happy to sit out. 13:15 AINTREE Barnpark's recent stable debut for Team Skelton was too bad to be true, and surely mo

Dean Kilbryde heads to Fontwell this Friday as he pinpoints two runners worth following to round off the working week. 13:25 FONTWELL Sea Warrior warmed to the task nicely and ultimately won by twelve lengths and with plenty in hand when successful here on chase debut last month. With that experience under his belt and his stable continuing in fine form he should be able to double his winning tally today. Sanitiser won twice over shorter trips towards the back end of last se

Proxima Dea kept her perfect record intact with a commanding success in the Group 1 VRC Oaks at Flemington on Thursday, extending her unbeaten run to six races and adding a second top-level prize in the space of a fortnight. Trained by veteran David Payne and ridden by 23-year-old Zac Lloyd, the Sydney-based filly overcame the second-widest draw in a field of 16 to stretch clear over the 2,500-metre trip. She crossed the line a length and three-quarters ahead of the Rob Black

Alan Morris heads to Newcastle and Chelmsford for his best bets this Thursday. 13.34 NEWCASTLE A competitive and open 3m handicap hurdle to consider. Got A Dream should improve further this season over this trip and will come on for his seasonal reappearance third for his shrewd yard. Letterston Lady also looks to have scope to improve beyond the other recent winners. LETTERSTON LADY (WIN) GOT A DREAM (E/W) 13.57 CHELMSFORD Labiche is bred for this trip but was keen on sta

Conditional jockey Dylan O'Connor has been suspended for 14 race days and must forfeit his riding fee after Fairyhouse stewards found him in breach of Rule 212 over his ride on Sam's Favourite on Tuesday. The Adam Leahy-trained five-year-old, sent off at 20-1, came home tenth of the 15 runners in the second division of the William Hill Challenge Series Handicap Hurdle over two and a half miles. Following a running and riding inquiry, the stewards also banned the horse from ra

Champion jockey Billy Loughnane has been signed as a retained rider for Godolphin, the operation announced on Wednesday, 4 November. The 20-year-old will formally take up the role at the Dubai Carnival in December, and he joins rather than replaces William Buick, who stays on as the second of Godolphin's two retained jockeys. It is a landmark move for a rider whose rise has been remarkable even by the standards of a sport that loves a prodigy. Loughnane was crowned Britain's

Point Of Law, the colt who carried the colours of the King and Queen in Britain earlier this year, won the 166th Melbourne Cup at Flemington on Tuesday, leading home a remarkable one-two-three for trainer Ciaron Maher. Zahrann followed him home in second with Juja Kibo third, both also from the Maher stable. It was a second Melbourne Cup success for Maher and a first in the race for jockey Ethan Brown, who produced the three-year-old to run down his front-running stablemate R

Liam Hall previews the best of Wednesday's action as he pinpoints a handful of races with horses not to ignore. 13:42 MUSSELBURGH West Sleekburn Lad was well fancied to double up when finishing fourth at Southwell last time, looks likely to be capable of winning off this sort of mark and looks to have found a golden opportunity here. Gemical ran her best race so far at Catterick, could take another step forward when learning to break level, could be an each way shout if toda

The race that stops a nation is run at Flemington tomorrow, Tuesday 3 November. Picking a winner from a field of 24 can feel like guesswork, but the history books say otherwise. Recent Melbourne Cup winners have had a lot in common, and some of those patterns are hard to ignore. We looked at every winner from 2013 to 2025: their age, sex, breeding, barrier, starting price, where they were trained and how they were prepared. Seven trends stand out. Most winners were aged 4 to

Alan Morris kick starts the month with more runners worth noting. Here's the pair he's put up from last week's action. MOSSY FEN COOLIO (J & AJ O’NEILL) Joyau Allen was too hot for Mossy Fen Coolio but it was an excellent second over 2m4f on chase debut from the latter in a big field that should throw up plenty of winners. The 6yo gelding won on his only point-to-point start and showed promise in a handful of hurdle races to think 110 underestimates his potential over fences

Sam King finds two runners worth following this Tuesday with selections from Warwick and Wolverhampton. 13:53 WARWICK Plan C has a bit to find based on flat ratings with those ahead of him in the market but there’s every chance he could make up into a nice performer over hurdles. Alan King does well in this sphere and it’s always promising to see him introduce one to hurdles at his local track Warwick. He should be well schooled at home and at the current prices, he looks li

Matt Polley hopes to start the week with some winners as he picks out two runners at Wolverhampton he’s following this Monday. 16:30 WOLVERHAMPTON The Anthony Gover is an improving three year old who has course form and the assistance of the champion jockey. He surely has to be on the scene. Lunella is interesting on handicap debut. He comes from a stable that know the time of day,, but the trip is an unknown. Serious Look is now well enough handicapped to be of interest. He
