TODAY'S TIPS (MONDAY)
Pundit Matt Polley aims to kick off the week with some winners as he heads to Brighton for his best bets. 14:40 BRIGHTON An interesting nursery with plenty of exposed two year olds already. One of those is Magical Life. Already a winner over a mile, she’s sure to see this trip out well, and is holding her form quite well. Best Yet ventures into handicap company for the first time off a basement mark, but Mandolin Rain is the pick. The market suggested there was better to c

TODAY'S TIPS (THURSDAY)
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.

Liam Hall previews Wednesday's action with selections from three different meetings. 14:12 PERTH Gambino representing the Skeltons here will be hevaily supported you'd imagine, won his previous two starts but carries a double penalty for those. Another carrying a penalty is Chicker, an impressive bumper winner at Cheltenham before not disgracing himself at both the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals, got off the mark over hurdles at the first time of asking. Jet Of Stars was a

TODAY'S TIPS (TUESDAY)
Sam King pinpoints a pair of runners this Tuesday who he's siding with to beat the bookmakers. 14:40 BEVERLEY Richard Hannon’s Call Me Tomorrow has been handed some tough assignments since her promising debut earlier in the season. She struggled in a warm event at Newbury last time but should find this significantly easier, while the recent wind operation ought to make a difference. She comes out best at the weights here and can get off the mark. CALL ME TOMORROW (WIN) 16:20

TODAY'S TIPS (MONDAY)
Matt Polley heads up north to Scotland with action from Hamilton to kick start the week. 14:47 HAMILTON Obviously the Goldie team are usually worth following here and Humble Spark is a big player here taking a drop in grade. Unchartedterritory is a three year old on the improve and he should be thereabouts. Florida Dreams is certainly the most interesting candidate here. He was well punted on his flat handicap debut, but refused to enter the stalls. The main priority at Yor

TODAY'S TIPS (THURSDAY)
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

TODAY'S TIPS (TUESDAY)
Sam King returns with his best bets for Tuesday's action as he pinpoints a pair of runners worth backing. 13:53 REDCAR The recent gelding operation can see Blake's Monarch strike at the fourth time of asking. He showed some classy form to finish tenth in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot having previously filled the runner-up spot at Wolverhampton. Dropping back to five furlongs here looks to be a good move and he can make the 4lb he receives from likely main market rival Mu

TODAY'S TIPS (MONDAY)
Matt Polley has been on a rich run of form of late and pinpoints two runners worth following to kick-start the week. 14:51 THIRSK We’re at the time of year where horses can change out of all recognition, and these nurseries are a prime example. Breaking The Habit and Ma Fille De Reve are interesting on handicap debut, however the top weight filly Dissenter already has some decent form in the book and will certainly appreciate this drop back to six furlongs. She should be ru

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.

TV TIPS (THURSDAY)
The two-year-olds take a good chunk of the limelight on the opening day of Doncaster's St Leger meeting, with three of the five live races featuring the youngsters as we preview every race shown live on ITV this Thursday. 13:15 DONCASTER A third-place finish behind the impressive Sun Goddess at York looks among the strongest pieces of form on offer, and that gives Speed Of Sound obvious claims on her handicap debut. Richard Spencer's filly should find this a slightly easier a

Former jockey turned pundit Liam Hall pinpoints a trio of runners he's backing this Wednesday. 15:54 REDCAR Golden Caviar is the selection here, looks a fair mark for his handicap debut, is sure to step forward now he's been gelded and this son of Wotton Basset should rate much higher by the end of the season. Sweet Kiss deserves a success but is likely to play second fiddle again. GOLDEN CAVIAR (WIN) 18:30 KEMPTON Lex Victoria (1-1) is likely to be all the rage here, won

After bagging a double the other week, pundit Matt Polley returns with two runners from Wolverhampton not to ignore this Monday. 17:30 WOLVERHAMPTON There’s an obvious one in here by the name of Lady Of Hay making her nursery debut, but there’s a big chance she’ll be over bet purely on her connections. She is overlooked in favour of the more exposed Sable Island. She ran really well here last time in a slightly better race, but found the sixth furlong a bit far. This trip i

Saturday's live ITV action comes from Haydock, Ascot, and Kempton, with plenty of intriguing stories to unfold by the end of the day. A Group 1 contest, competitive handicaps, and a jumps racing legend on display. 13:25 HAYDOCK Without a win for over a year, Dancing Gemini could finally return to winning ways now dropped into Group 3 company.

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

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

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
