TODAY'S TIPS (FRIDAY)
Dean Kilbryde heads to Fontwell this Friday as he pinpoints two runners worth following to round off the working week. 13:25 FONTWELL Sea Warrior warmed to the task nicely and ultimately won by twelve lengths and with plenty in hand when successful here on chase debut last month. With that experience under his belt and his stable continuing in fine form he should be able to double his winning tally today. Sanitiser won twice over shorter trips towards the back end of last se

BILLY LOUGHNANE SIGNS AS GODOLPHIN RETAINED JOCKEY
Champion jockey Billy Loughnane has been signed as a retained rider for Godolphin, the operation announced on Wednesday, 4 November. The 20-year-old will formally take up the role at the Dubai Carnival in December, and he joins rather than replaces William Buick, who stays on as the second of Godolphin's two retained jockeys.

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

TODAY'S TIPS (FRIDAY)
Dean Kilbryde takes a look through the best of Friday's action and finds three runners from Wetherby worth following to round off the working week with some winners. 14:25 WETHERBY Just the four runners yet an intriguing contest. Service Minimum could only manage third on seasonal reappearance, travelling nicely into the race but finding little when asked and finishing eight lengths behind the eventual winner. He carries top-weight again here, however is aided by the 10lbs c

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

TODAY'S TIPS (MONDAY)
Matt Polley heads to Kempton for his best bets to kick-start the week as he pinpoints two runners worth following. 18:45 KEMPTON Fight Your Corner must be quite a difficult horse to train for some reason, with only six races under his belt at the age of five. He clearly has a fair amount of ability, and if all is well, he should run really well. Loblolly is consistent, but probably in the grip of the handicapper. A chance is taken with Gilet. He’s run some decent races in d

TV TIPS (SUNDAY)
Sunday's ITV Racing action offers a fascinating afternoon of National Hunt racing from Aintree and Market Rasen, a one-off visit to Galway, Ireland, alongside an intriguing trip to Italy for Group 2 action at San Siro where a jumping superstar aims to claim Group race success on the flat. 13:35 MARKET RASEN Perhaps an uninspiring selection at the current odds, but Don Dandy looks a worthy favourite following his victory last time out. With just seven runners heading to post,

TODAY'S TIPS (THURSDAY)
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
