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

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

Alan Morris returns with his weekly rundown of recent runners and pinpoints a pair you have to add to your racing trackers. KODI FIRE (C HILLS) Kodi Fire has dropped down the handicap after a few defeats but has shown enough in three runs this season to suggest he is not a forlorn hope and can pop up at rewarding odds. The 4yo gelding hit form last season with a hat-trick of wins over 7 and 8f around Brighton, Salisbury and Windsor. After a promising comeback he ran a poor r

The Coral Eclipse is one of the most prestigious horse races in the United Kingdom, taking place annually at Sandown Park, located in Esher, Surrey. Established in 1886, this Group 1 flat race is run over a distance of one mile and two furlongs, and it typically attracts a field of top-class thoroughbreds from both the UK and abroad. The race is generally held in early July, serving as a pivotal moment in the British racing calendar, particularly for horses that excel at midd

It's the fifth and final day from Royal Ascot and after another solid performance with our team tips yesterday we look to finish the 'Royal Meeting' with more winners. 14:30 ASCOT There are several inexperienced horses in this contest with form achieved in small fields that is difficult to properly assess, while Wesley Ward also brings over three challengers. Carry The Flag has the strongest credentials, having beaten Sun Goddess, who subsequently finished second in the Alba

It's the halfway point of the 'Royal Meeting' with the premier showpiece race of the entire five-day event The Ascot Gold Cup taking centre stage. 14:30 ASCOT A listed race for horses whose sires have won over 10f and Aix La Chapelle heads the market for Aiden O’Brien and must be respected. The colt was the stable’s second string in winning a six-runner maiden that hasn’t been franked yet and looked to be full of stamina, getting up late on good to yielding. Conversely Apero

It's the second day of the five-day Royal meeting with the showpiece contest coming in the form of the Group 1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes. 14:30 ASCOT It seems only right to start with the Wathnan pair given their targeted efforts to acquire Royal Ascot winners. James Doyle has opted for Wild Blossom, who won by 10 lengths on debut and looked ultra-impressive, although the time figure perhaps didn’t quite match the visual impression. She has also been relatively easy to back

It's the opening day of the five-day festival as we prepare to see some of the best flat horses in the world line up for Royal Ascot 2026. The team previews every race on Tuesday. 14:30 ASCOT Notable Speech holds obvious claims on the back of his clear-cut success over More Thunder in the Lockinge Stakes. Charlie Appleby’s classy miler sets the standard, but there’s a suspicion he’s not at his very best at Ascot, so it could be worth chancing his progressive stablemate Oper

13:20 CHELTENHAM I’m not convinced any trainer should have nine of a field of twenty, even if it’s not handicap skullduggery but Willie Mullins sets us a poser within the race here. The impressive-looking Proactif looked strong and professional in winning his second start and first for the Closutton maestro. Highland Crystal and Tuesday’s smart winner Saratoga pulled well clear at Naas and with the fillies’ allowance she looks good each-way value though she is one of a few wh

13:20 CHELTENHAM Ballyfad was very unlucky in a Grade One last time out but he could have questions upped in trip. I’ll Sort That is a Grade One winner and is unbeaten in four over hurdles. He is a fighter who will stay up the hill. No Drama This End has been highly successful so far and was impressive in the Challow last time out. His course and distance form only adds to his claims and he is the one they have to beat. NO DRAMA THIS END (WIN) I’LL SORT THAT (E/W) written by

Six races grace the ITV screens this Boxing Day including the prestigious King George VI Chase from Kempton. We preview all the live action right here. 12:45 KEMPTON Trainer Nicky Henderson looks set to have potentially a belting Boxing Day here at Kempton and it could all kick into life in the opener. He sends out Noble Park who's done little wrong in winning his last two starts. Looks set to continue his unbeaten record as a chaser. Of the remainder Barlovento deserves an o

Our annual blow out as we preview every single race in the UK and Ireland this Boxing Day with selections, analysis and tips for for each contest. Kieran McHugh previews Down Royal. 11:40 DOWN ROYAL A deep race but Sept Etoiles was fourth in a deep race on his debut. This is arguably easier and the step up in trip will suit as well. SEPT ETOILES (WIN) 12:15 DOWN ROYAL Champagne Jury will be difficult to beat but Live Your Dreams could provide some value. He’s related to Un D

Liam Hall focuses on jumps action from Sedgefield and Exeter this Friday as he puts forward a trio of horses he expects to go close. 15:20 SEDGEFIELD Trigg looks the obvious one here, winner on debut and capable claimer helping to remove the 7lb penalty means he ticks alot of boxes but could be still vulnerable in a competitive trappy small field bumper. Grazeon Sunshine looked a real eye catcher when second on debut, shouldn't be far away. Art Dancer looks bred for this jo
