Rory Paddock returns to preview all the best action on ITV with racing from Newmarket and York this Friday. 13:50 NEWMARKET Decade Of Time and Heraldry renew their rivalry after finishing first and second respectively at Windsor back in May. Both now make their handicap debuts and, with Heraldry receiving a much more favourable pull at the weights, the John and Thady Gosden-trained colt could be capable of reversing that previous form. William Haggas saddles Princling, who p

Friday's tipping action comes from York and Cork as top pundit Dean Kilbryde finds two runners worth following to round off the working week. 14:45 YORK Royal Fixation won the Group 2 Lowther Stakes over track and trip last season and although was a shade disappointing in a Listed race on return this season, that run should have blown away any cobwebs and better can be expected here with a first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces to aid her cause. Spicy Marg ran a cracker to ge

We have live ITV action from Newmarket with additional races up at Doncaster. All six races are previewed here in our 'TV Tips' as pundit Rory Paddock aims to bash the bookies. 13:50 NEWMARKET Del Maro, Point Of Law and Galiyan renew their rivalry after finishing second, fourth and sixth respectively in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot, and the trio look set to dominate proceedings once again in what appears a less demanding assignment. Del Maro emerged with the strongest pie

Alan Morris heads to Carlisle for his best bets this Thursday as he tips a handful of runners to follow. 15:10 CARLISLE Wolf Of Badenoch’s rating has been in freefall in the past year from 100 to sneaking in to this 0-60. He has been well-backed recently for his current trainer running on over shorter trips and on his breeding and debut win over Lazy Griff this 1m 3f trip could be just what he needs. This is a modest race but the favourite Is She Now has been in good form in

Have you ever looked at a racecard and wondered how horse racing odds are calculated? Whether you're new to the sport or have been following racing for years, it's a question many fans ask. While horse racing odds may seem complicated at first, they're simply a way of showing how likely a horse is to win a race. In this guide, we'll explain how bookmakers calculate horse racing odds, what influences them, and why they change before the race starts. How Horse Racing Odds Are

Former jockey turned Racing Daily pundit Liam Hall previews three races this Wednesday with action from Catterick and Fairyhouse. 14:00 CATTERICK Classy Clarets was a smart winner at Musselburgh last time but weakened badly over course and distance late on so Filey Beach who has been freshened back up should take some stopping back over course and distance under Taryn Langley who has already tasted success on him here before. FILEY BEACH (WIN) 17:08 FAIRYHOUSE Argentarius

We're back for another weekly roundup of recent winners you have to pay close attention to. Here's who Alan Morris thinks you should put in your trackers. MELISSA HONEY (M HERRINGTON) Melissa Honey has won twice in the last month but from a very low mark and this 4yo filly has scope for further improvement over her winning distance of 6f and potentially over 7f. She won cosily in a small field, travelling from last to first at Leicester this week off 54. In contrast she had

Sam King heads 'Up North' and the action in Yorkshire at Pontefract with his best bets this Tuesday. 14:48 PONTEFRACT Bellarchi has been in the form of her life and continues to go from strength to strength this season. Grant Tuer’s filly put up a clear career best when striking over this trip in Listed company at Chester last time and with further progress on the cards, she might well prove able to fifth success from six starts. The unexposed Mobberly Rose is an interesting

Constitution River: Just How Good Could the Coral Eclipse Winner Be? Last weekend's racing, as always, provided fascinating viewing and raised plenty of questions. From Carry The Flag winning the Listed Coolmore Stud Blackbeard Tipperary Stakes and One Number finishing placed in the Listed Pat Smullen Stakes at Naas, adding further strength to the Royal Ascot two-year-old form, to Calandagan landing the Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud over a mile and a half, further fuellin

Matt Polley previews the best of Monday's racing action as he pinpoints runners from Lingfield and Ayr to kick start the week. 14:45 LINGFIELD Perfect Nation is likely to be a prohibitive price based on his two year old debut at Windsor. He did race quite freely however, and his effort slightly flattened out over the six furlongs. He should know more this time, and will certainly be on the scene. Cavalier just gets the nod. He went off fav for a decent looking Newbury maide

Alan Morris picks out two tips from Yarmouth and Kempton this Thursday with selections not to ignore. 14:39 YARMOUTH A four-runner Hands and Heels Apprentice Handicap and a lot will depend on the battle to control a reasonable pace with Pleasant Man and Hibernate possible front-runners trying to avoid setting each other alight. Hibernate is flexible regarding trip and bred for middle-distances and this scenario should suit. This may not play out so well for maiden The Uberme

Liam Hall previews action from Thirsk and Fairyhouse this Wednesday as he pinpoints runners not to ignore. 13:08 THIRSK On paper this looks a match race between Possessive and Kodiak Breeze. Kodiak Breeze bumped into an impressive winner at Thirsk on debut called Arapho Gold (runs 13:38 Thirsk), made amends for that defeat when winning nicely at Redcar but the awkward head carriage shown was a concern if he was to get into a fight which Possesive might be able to force that

Sam King focuses his attention on Tuesday's action from Salisbury with two runners worth backing. 14:07 SALISBURY Ralph Beckett is no stranger to unleashing useful prospects at Salisbury and Squadron may prove just that in the opening maiden. By Frankel out of the Group 1 winning mare Juliet Foxtrot, he boasts a beautiful pedigree and should be suited by this test on debut. Juddmonte’s retainer rider Colin Keane makes the trip and they can come out on top, with Galipi the pi

Alan Morris pinpoints his two recent runners that you have to follow in the Racing Daily Hotlist. APPROACHING DAWN (J GOLDIE) Approaching Dawn is a late-developing 6yo who only made it on track late on in his fifth year but he is progressing nicely from a very low mark. Daybreak came at Musselburgh in early June over a mile, getting up late on. After a subsequent blow out on soft he was third over a mile last week, looking in need of a stiffer track or further. The gelding i

Matt Polley kicks off the week with selections from Pontefract and Windsor as he aims to bash the bookies. 16:30 PONTEFRACT Knicks will pop up one day, but has squandered a few good opportunities recently. This could lay between the two three year olds in the field. If you take one piece of Soca Stars form literally behind Naana’s Shadow at Catterick, she would have an outstanding chance, however, Queen Sana gets the vote. Her latest run over course and distance was an exce

Rory Paddock looks away from the live ITV Racing action and pinpoints a trio of runners worth backing this Saturday. 19:25 LINGFIELD We saw these colours finish in front at Royal Ascot and Rogue Bullet looks to add further success for trainer James Owen. A solid winner at Brighton on yard debut and despite the penalty he has to carry this drop in grade should offset his additional weight. Fellow last time out winner Ancient State aims to claim back to back victories and is t

The Northumberland Plate takes centre stage on ITV Racing this Saturday and pundit previews all the live action from Newcastle and York. 13:40 NEWCASTLE A step up to seven furlongs appeared to spark improvement from five-year-old Sergeant Wilko, who went close in a weaker contest at Thirsk last time out. He returns to a venue where he has tasted success before and now races from a mark below his last winning rating. The slight concern is his wider draw, but on Newcastle's st

John Arnold returns with his advanced look to the July Cup as he aims to decipher the Group 1 sprint contest. The July Cup, held annually at Newmarket Racecourse, is one of the most prestigious sprint races in the British thoroughbred calendar. Usually taking place in early July, this Group 1 flat race is contested over a distance of six furlongs on the straight track, attracting the crème de la crème of sprinting horses from both the UK and abroad. Established in 1876, the

Alan Morris pinpoints two runners worth following this Thursday as he selects runners from Hamilton and Nottingham. 11:30 NOTTINGHAM A Hands N Heels race and it often pays to focus on prominent racers as hold-up performers can struggle to change gears under inexperienced riders. Volendam fits the bill here having broken his maiden tag recently and will enjoy the return to a mile here. Rusheen Boy’s 6lb rise looks steep for a two-runner race win and the trip is a query. Mbappe

Liam Hall looks at the two remaining meetings in the UK and Ireland with action from Carlisle and Naas to get stuck into this Wednesday. 14:00 CARLISLE Five runners for the opening contest. Queen Of Christmas is the only one with a run under her belt, she was fifth and never really looked capable of landing a blow to the principles, stiffer finish should suit however. In The Black has the best pedigree on paper and represents a shrewd operation when it comes to first time ou
