THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: NEWCASTLE & CHELMSFORD CITY
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

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: STRATFORD & SOUTHWELL
Alan Morris heads to Stratford and Southwell for the best of his bets this Thursday with a trio of tips he feels are worth following. 15:50 STRATFORD Pescatorius showed a good attitude to win over a trip short of his best at Stratford and is a fit and in-form consistent horse for the grade and rating. Moor End and One Last Glance look to be future winners alongside Ithaka and any strength in the market could indicate they are ready to go. PESCATORIUS (WIN) 19:30 SOUTHWELL A

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: SOUTHWELL
Alan Morris focuses on Thursday evening's all-weather action from Southwell, pinpointing a quartet of runners worth following. 17:00 SOUTHWELL Blue Tulip looks to be a progressive filly and can handle a more competitive race than her recent course and distance win. The 3yo filly is stoutly-bred and duly improved as she went up in distance and the testing trip at Southwell. Rubellite had another sighter over this distance last time and looks the main threat with Cieren Fallo

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: BRIGHTON & SOUTHWELL
Alan Morris takes a look at Thursday's action from Southwell and Brighton to find his best bets. 16:25 BRIGHTON With four places on offer I'm willing to take a chance on outsider Connie Moon for a yard that just had a 22-1 winner. The 4yo filly made a pleasing comeback and would be a lot shorter here but for for a blowout on soft/heavy that can be ignored. A third at Goodwood gives hope Brighton may suit. Plenty of course and distance winners are in opposition with Gone Rogu

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: AYR & BATH
Alan Morris hunts for value this Thursday with each-way selections he expects to outrun their odds at Ayr and Bath. 14:55 AYR Lesley's Boy has slipped a long way in the weights but has found his form again and can progress beyond 0-60 now. Having run well over Hamilton's stiff 6f in testing conditions the 4yo gelding looks ready to try 7f again. The high draw is a slight concern but the price should reflect that doubt and gives us each-way leeway! Launch Time and Big Apple J

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: SALISBURY & NEWCASTLE
Alan Morris tips runners from Salisbury and Newcastle this Thursday with a host of selections to get stuck into. 15:49 SALISBURY Regional Rock returns to the course and distance of his last race that didn't pan out favourably but, with a stronger pace here likely, he can reward backers with some paying four places. Brosay has returned to form and is looking well-handicapped now and with two recent seconds andlooks value against a couple of horses making their handicap debut

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: PONTEFRACT & NEWMARKET
Alan Morris heads to Pontefract and 'Flat HQ' for his best bets this Thursday. 13:32 PONTEFRACT Jake Dickson has been going well in Apprentice Handicaps and has struck up a good relationship with Albegone in recent runs, finishing 1st and 2nd before a luckless run last time. Jake can still claim 3lb here and this 0-60 looks a good opportunity against some disappointing types. Course and distance winner Jojo Rabbit looks the main danger if you ignore his last run at Leicester.

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: AYR & PONTEFRACT
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

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: EPSOM & DONCASTER
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

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: CARLISLE & LINGFIELD
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

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: NEWMARKET & BRIGHTON
Alan Morris is back with his weekly tips for Thursday’s action with selections from Newmarket and Brighton. 16:33 NEWMARKET James Owen’s horses do seem to be a little overbet but High Fibre has run well in two starts on flat and over hurdles for his new yard and looks a solid favourite here. Cieren Fallon has been in great form for the yard and High Fibre looks to have the speed to be wise to any lack of pace here. Minhad has to prove himself over the distance and it is uncle

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: DONCASTER & SANDOWN
Alan Morris previews the best of Thursday’s action with selections from Doncaster and Sandown to get stuck into. 15:45 DONCASTER The lightly-raced Sargent Dennis had some solid form prior to winning his Windsor maiden and had entries in higher class races than this. This might be his last class 5 race for a while. Seeing Stars looks ready for a run over 6f after showing plenty of pace and ability in his 7f races and is a good each-way alternative. SARGENT DENNIS (WIN) SEEING

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: THIRSK & EPSOM
Alan Morris heads to Thirsk and Epsom to tackle the bookies this Thursday with some runners not to ignore. 16:10 THIRSK Captain Cess looks as if this 7f should suit and after finding trouble last time over 5 1/2f he will be a warm order here in a moderate race. Coconut Bay hails from a stable in good form and a recent third at a similar sharp left-handed track in Catterick augurs well for his chance here. At much bigger odds Elashgar could go well with the suggestion that 7

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: CARLISLE
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

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: YARMOUTH & KEMPTON
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

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: NOTTINGHAM & HAMILTON
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.

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: YARMOUTH & NOTTINGHAM
Alan Morris points out three runners across Nottingham and Yarmouth this Thursday as he aims to bash the bookies. 15.20 YARMOUTH I’m not sure why I’m tipping another infrequent winner, maybe the weather is causing a malfunction but Existent looks worth an each-way stab in a five-runner field over 5f under Zac Lloyd. This is his lowest grade since debut six years ago and he was exposed on the wrong side here at Yarmouth last time. 6f may suit a couple of the others more and a

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: HAMILTON & FFOS LAS
Alan Morris heads to Scotland and Wales for his best bets this Thursday with selections from Hamilton and Ffos Las. 17.22 HAMILTON Heavy rain was forecast on Wednesday with some more on raceday so it will be interesting to see how much is received. Recobella looks flexible regarding the ground and ran well last time out, this trip looks within range and the jockey booking, allied to a drop in grade should see the 5yo mare home in front. A few of the others are unproven over

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: RIPON & WORCESTER
Alan Morris tips Thursday runners from Ripon and Worcester as he hunts down winners to land the spoils. 16:10 RIPON Jet Warrior should win this easily, 5lb well-in after a good 6f win at Ayr last week and odds-on backers may have little trouble collecting on the lightly-raced 4yo gelding. My only nagging doubt to avoid lumping on is that ultimately 7f might suit better and he pulled away late on from behind a strong pace last time. He was running on over Southwell’s 7f previo

THURSDAY'S RACING TIPS: MUSSELBURGH & CHEPSTOW
Alan Morris gives his best bets this Thursday with selections from Musselburgh and Chepstow. 15.50 MUSSELBURGH Krissy has struck up a good partnership with Rhys Elliott and the improving 5yo mare can go in again here for the in-form Jim Goldie yard. Although she has form over further she won over course and distance here two runs ago and as a front-runner her jockey should keep this simple. Mismerald looks to be ready to strike soon as does Glasses Up over a little further.
