Dean Kilbryde pinpoints two runners worth following to end the working week with selections from Haydock and Worcester. 15:47 HAYDOCK Creative Queen posted her sole career success on soft ground at Yarmouth and arrives in excellent form having been narrowly denied when last seen, finishing second to a fast-finishing, similarly in-form rival. With ground and trip to suit I’m hoping the Willliam Haggas’ trained three-year-old can give the stable a winner from their only runner

Liam Hall goes around the courses this Wednesday with selections worth following. 14:45 NEWCASTLE Yordan sets the standard here with winning last time, has set a similair standard on both Racecourse appearances but with the winners 7lb penalty to carry here that makes life harder. There's plenty of runners in this field who likely to be ridden for a low handicap mark which makes challengers to Yordan thin and therefore he's the choice for win purposes. Triple P ran okay on d

Alan Morris takes a look back at an action-packed week of racing and names three recent runners that had to make The Hotlist. This trio needs to be put into your trackers as he expects them to go close very soon. NORTH ACCOUNT (N SCHOLFIELD) North Account looks the type Nick Scholfield will eventually get the best out of over a trip and fences in due course. The 6yo gelding is related to plenty of staying winners and didn’t show much in three hurdle races in Ireland. He clea

Matt Polley aims to make the bank holiday a profitable one with selections from Ripon and Epsom this Monday. 15:40 RIPON Fireball is an intriguing runner here. A French important from a top yard could be extremely well handicapped, and any further rainfall should seemingly be fine. Thunder Roar and Milteye will enjoy the ground, however Spoken Truth has been threatening to win a race of this nature for a while, and today could be his day. SPOKEN TRUTH (WIN) 16:05 EPSOM Going

Sunday's live racing action provides punters with plenty to get stuck into, with Goodwood taking centre stage alongside competitive cards from Beverley, Yarmouth and Cork. As ever, there are some tricky-looking contests to decipher, including several wide-open handicaps and competitive Group races where finding value could prove more rewarding than simply siding with the market leaders. We've taken a closer look at all of the live action and picked out our best bets, includin

Action from Sandown and Goodwood with three group races live on ITV this Saturday as pundit Rory Paddock previews all nine races. 13:25 GOODWOOD A two-year-old contest kicks off Saturday's live action and Lily Pink looks likely to head the betting after showing plenty of promise when runner-up on debut. Charlie Johnston's filly should have learnt plenty from that experience and a repeat of that effort would see her go close for a yard that traditionally does well at this tim

Rory Paddock pinpoints two runners that could do far better than expected this Saturday. 13:45 BEVERLEY Paddy's Day has slipped below his last winning mark and returns to a venue where he has performed well on both previous visits. Although yet to get his head in front at Beverley, he has made the frame on each occasion and clearly handles the track. Now operating from an attractive rating, another bold showing looks on the cards and he makes plenty of each-way appeal. PADDY

Dean Kilbryde aims to round off the week in style with selections from Sedgefield and Fontwell as he hopes to land some winners over jumps. 17:32 SEDGEFIELD Tom Creen hasn’t been seen since unseating his rider in April and at eleven isn’t getting any younger, however does boast an excellent record over track and trip with four wins and a second from seven attempts. He’s also ran well on return from lengthy absences before and he’s 6lbs lower than his last winning mark so loo

After pinpointing the first three home in the Ebor Handicap, John Arnold returns with two worth following in the final classic of the season as he dissects the St Leger. History: The St Leger Stakes, inaugurated in 1776, is the oldest Classic horse race in the world, held annually at Doncaster Racecourse. Established by Colonel Anthony St Leger as a way to promote horse racing in the area, the race was originally planned as a local event but quickly gained popularity, becomi

The Travers Stakes takes centre stage at Saratoga, with a high-quality field assembled for one of the most prestigious prizes of the American summer. Pundit Toby Darby assesses the Group 1 contest and pinpoints his best bet. 23:35 SARATOGA My main pick is Leading Change, who arrives unbeaten after two starts for trainer Brad Cox. He took the Indiana Derby last time out and showed enough tactical speed and professionalism to suggest he can make his presence felt at the highe

Alan Morris takes a look at Thursday's action from Carlisle and Lingfield as he hunts down some value for his Thursday tips. 14:00 CARLISLE A Novice Amateur Jockeys Handicap with some inexperienced riders on display. The competent Jack Loughnane has ridden the most in recent times but still claims 3lb here in search of his first win and teams up with Titian. Titian looks to be running into form alongside his stable and is in a Class 5 for the first time in years, looking a s

Alan Morris picks out a pair of recent runners he feels you need to pay close attention to as they make our ongoing Hotlist. EKLLEEM (W HAGGAS) Eklleem should be in plenty of notebooks after his second at York behind Blue Courvoisier who led throughout. The 3yo gelding was drawn wide and shuffled back from an early prominent position but travelled well enough in a compact field. He ran on well to pull clear with the winner with only a couple of taps to quicken away from the

Former jockey Liam Hall previews the best of Wednesday’s action and picks out three runners worth following. 14:15 CATTERICK This looks a very weak renewal and I'm going to give newcomer Ghazalia my vote here, smartly bred and representing a shrewd operation this filly can hit the frame from stall 5. Shaniko holds the best form in the book but hasn't looked like one capable of getting it's head in front from four attempts so far, needs to be winning this if capable of defying

Sam King focuses his attention solely on Lingfield's card this Tuesday as he picks out two runners to take on the bookmakers. 15:00 LINGFIELD Ambience is bred to be better than what she showed on debut. Owned by Amo Racing, this well-bred daughter of Frankel was just too green to do herself justice on debut, and it wouldn't be surprising were she to take a massive step forward here. She subsequently underwent a wind operation, while her initial experience should stand her in

Matt Polly heads north to Musselburgh and also to Royal Windsor for his best bets to kick start the week. 15:15 MUSSELBURGH A relatively rare selling handicap which looks competitive despite its low grade. Motawaared certainly has enough ability to win a race of this nature, and along with Theme Park who fits the same criteria as the aforementioned are the biggest threats to the selection, which is Titainium. He had tried a variety of trips recently, but this prominent race

Toby Darby previews two Group 1 races from Deauville this Sunday and after bagging the 6/1 winner in France last weekend his selections are worth noting. 14:50 DEAUVILLE - Prix Morny After last week’s winning selection in the Jacque Le Marois, Rayif. A cracking renewal this year with the Coventry winner, meeting the Norfolk winner and the Queen Mary 2nd. Orthodox was one of the most impressive winners at Royal Ascot and I see no reason why the step up in distance will disadva

The fourth and final day of York's Ebor Meeting sees another five races on ITV, plus a bonus of two contests from Chester and we preview them all right here. 13:50 YORK A tough race to decipher kicks off the final day of the meeting, with a case easily made for at least half of the field. Punters should approach this contest with a degree of caution as it's difficult to be overly confident about any of the runners. However, Expanded makes plenty of appeal despite remaining w

Pundit Rory Paddock turns his attention away from the live ITV Racing cameras and pinpoints a quartet of Saturday runners not to ignore. 17:08 CURRAGH Four Blondes has gone close over this course and distance on several occasions, and although he's failed to claim victory at this venue, he returns to the Curragh off an attractive mark and looks primed for a solid showing. FOUR BLONDES (E/W) 17:10 LINGFIELD Wanderlust wasn't far away in a much better race at Newcastle when la

The penultimate day of York's Ebor Meeting is upon us and we pinpoint potential winners to make it a profitable Friday. We take a look at the first five races shown live on ITV. 13:50 YORK Trainer William Haggas has enjoyed a solid opening two days of the meeting and his two contenders look strong betting options in Friday's opener. Current market leader Zennor Storm has improved with each run and went close when finishing second at Goodwood last time out. He's clearly a gel

For the second week running, Mickael Barzalona and the famous colours of the Aga Khan stole the headlines as Rayif landed the Group 1 Prix Jacques le Marois. The complexion of the race changed dramatically last Tuesday following the shock announcement that unbeaten star Bow Echo had been retired and would therefore miss the Deauville showpiece. While the news came as a huge disappointment to racing fans across the globe, who had hoped to see more of the hugely talented colt,
