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

Matt Polley heads to Scotland for his best bets this Monday with selections from Musselburgh to kick-start the week. 15:17 MUSSELBURGH Ski Angel will quite rightly be popular here. A course and distance winner, who has been knocking on the door lately. Never Dark could run well at decent odds, however it might be worth forgiving Fear And Fast latest run in the mud at Hamilton. He comfortably accounted for Ski Angel on his last start here, and has an ideal draw. FEAR AND FA

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

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

Saturday is packed with racing action and pundit Rory Paddock takes a look away from the live ITV races and pinpoints a trio of runners not to ignore. 13:40 MUSSELBURGH Albegone makes plenty of appeal back at a venue where he has enjoyed previous success. A course-and-distance winner, he tends to come to hand at this stage of the season and has produced some of his best efforts around late May and early June in recent years. Now operating from a highly attractive mark, condi

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.

Despite the showpiece Grand National taking place yesterday the ITV cameras take in more action this time on the level with live racing from Musselburgh and Leopardstown and Rory Paddock previews every race. 15:45 MUSSELBURGH A Karl Burke debutant always warrants respect and Penny Arcade is no exception, but it’s hard to ignore the visual impression Adonius made on debut. A dominant 7-length success over this course and distance marked him out as a useful prospect. He conced

A mix of flat and jumps action with live racing from Musselburgh and Haydock shown on ITV this Saturday. 13:25 MUSSELBURGH Although still winless on turf, Comic Hero arrives here on the back of a determined all-weather success where he showed a willing attitude to get on top late. That effort suggested this step up in trip will suit, and with Oisin Murphy booked, he looks capable of following up under a penalty. Strength Of Spirit rates the main danger for the in-form Karl B

Liam Hall previews the best of the action this Friday with selections from Musselburgh and Dundalk. 15:22 MUSSELBURGH Light Fandango bolted up last time at Doncaster, his only blips have come on soft ground so should continue to thrive on the better ground he'll find up in Scotland but has another 6lb rise to improve to in a deeper contest. The value looks to be Star Of Guiting, loves it over this CD including a win in the very competitive Scottish County Hurdle, Pulled up re

Kieran McHugh heads to Punchestown and Musselburgh for his best bets for Sunday. 14:30 PUNCHESTOWN An interesting race. The Lovely Man looks a big threat for Gavin Cromwell and probably justifies his favouritism. Uncle Pat has form behind some smart horses and unseated early at Leopardstown. Paul Townend takes the ride today and with a clean round, he could come good. Prends Garde A Toi should also be there or thereabouts. He fell early doors two weeks ago but baring a no-sho

Kieran McHugh pinpoints two runners he's siding with to end the week with some winners. 14:20 MARKET RASEN Circuit Breaker has spent most of his time on the All-Weather recently and makes his return to hurdling after a year’s absence. This could be a difficult task. Outer Banks won by 13 lengths on his handicap debut at Wetherby, but he has been off for nearly a year. He could be vulnerable. Sunshine Diamond has been runner-up on his last two starts, and connections are in g

Racing across three countries is set to be shown on ITV this Saturday including two Grade 1 races from Leopardstown. 12:55 SANDOWN Bollin Thou produced an absolute demolition job to claim a 12 length victory when last seen earlier in the month. This is a step up in level but deserves a shot in this grade and looks capable of making it four wins in a row. Fellow last time out winners Precious Metal and Calme Olympien look the most obvious threats and it's the Tim Vaughan runn

Alan Morris gives his top tips to kick start 2026. 13:40 MUSSELBURGH Wise Eagle looks sure to be supported in from early each-way prices as I’m sure I’m not the only ‘brainbox’ waiting for the high-class flat stayer to go up in distance over hurdles and prove there is plenty of scope to widen the gap between his flat and jumps marks. That said he doesn’t seem to be quite as good as he was over the flat and there are some younger rivals progressing well themselves. Moonbow can

Matt Polley gives his best bets of the day as we kick off Christmas week. 12:50 HUNTINGDON He Knows Better looked like an improver, and was in the process of running a nice race when falling last time. If his confidence is in tact, he’ll go close. Realisation and Impatient from the resurgent O’Neill yard, have chances, however, Petty Cash looks the pick. He ran a fine race over an inadequate trip at Chepstow on his return, and that will put him cherry ripe for this. PETTY CA

Liam Hall pinpoints four races where he hopes to bash the bookies this Friday. 12:05 MUSSELBURGH Arctic Voyage made a pleasing debut over hurdles with signs of greeness, likely to be much sharper this time and should be dangerous. Junkyard Dog showed good form over hurdles in Ireland but has struggled since coming to Britain, could step forward. French Diablo holds an impressive jumping pedigree and if he knows his job on debut he could be classy and is worth the chance. FRE

Dean Kilbryde gives just the one selection to back this Wednesday and it comes at Musselburgh, 16:05 MUSSELBURGH Three-time course and distance winner Zarzyni will likely prove a popular choice arriving here on the back of a win on the all-weather at Southwell last week, however the 4lbs penalty he carries will make things tougher and his turf form has been largely inconsistent so far this season so he’s not one to have the utmost of faith in. Jim Goldie runs four with the

Dean Kilbryde picks his best bet of the day this Wednesday. 16:00 MUSSELBURGH Lunar Power has had to settle for second on both runs since switching back to turf, beaten a short head at Thirsk before a similar gap between himself and the winner over course and distance at the beginning of the month. Upped just 1lbs and with Paul Mulrennan continuing in the saddle, compensation awaits. It’s been two years since Bashful Boy last visited the winners enclosure but he wasn’t beate

Liam Hall pinpoints two runners he likes the look of this Tuesday with selections from Ripon and Musselburgh. 14:35 RIPON The most experienced in the field Schrodingers Cat brings strong form to the field, he should be too good for those who have ran before but could be vulnerable again to a smart newcomer. Lady Kodiac ticks alot of boxes on pedigree, the big doubt would be the ground due to being out of a German family, if she can handle the surface well then she should be

Sam King is bang in form after a very profitable Glorious Goodwood, he returns with his best bets of the day this Friday. 15:20 MUSSELBURGH A competitive seven-furlong handicap, which could go the way of the Far Above Dream. Trained by the in-form James Owen, this unexposed three-year-old made a taking stable debut when scoring at Bath earlier in the season before finding Class 2 company at York too taxing next time out. However, back in calmer waters, he bounced back with a

Former jockey Liam Hall previews Tuesday's action and gives his best two bets of the day. 15:00 MUSSELBURGH Proud Nation is a well bred son of Sioux Nation for a shred operation but the teams two year olds have been needing their debuts so far this season so may be best watched. Yy Nation showed very little on debut but is one likely to improve on that debut effort. Urgent Call ticks alot of boxes on his debut and 7f looks an ideal starting trip as his mother was placed twic
