THE HOTLIST
Alan Morris picks out a pair of recent runners he feels you need to pay close attention to as they make our ongoing Hotlist. EKLLEEM (W HAGGAS) Eklleem should be in plenty of notebooks after his second at York behind Blue Courvoisier who led throughout. The 3yo gelding was drawn wide and shuffled back from an early prominent position but travelled well enough in a compact field. He ran on well to pull clear with the winner with only a couple of taps to quicken away from the

TODAY’S TIPS (MONDAY)
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

TODAY’S TIPS (TUESDAY)
Sam King previews the best of Tuesday’s action as he names two runners worth following. 15:00 LINGFIELD William Knight looks to have found a nice opening for his once-raced filly Romotoso. This daughter of Lope Y Fernandez looked to make her challenge earlier than ideal when a promising third on debut and as a result, that initial effort can be upgraded. She shaped as though there would be plenty more to come once that debut experience was in the bag, and with a good draw to

John Arnold steps in to cover the best of Tuesday’s action as he picks out two runners to back. 15:45 CARLISLE A nice nursery here with Adrian Keatleys INFLUENCER MAN taken to step forward again on handicap debut. He ran a nice second at Ripon last time out. Concert Pitch is another to consider and also Lauralynn the only previous winner in the field. INFLUENCER MAN (WIN) 16:15 CARLISLE Great was a winner over course and distance in July and followed up again last week at

TODAY’S TIPS (THURSDAY)
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

THE HOTLIST
After an action-packed week at Glorious Goodwood, Alan Morris picks out two recent runners you cannot ignore going forward. WID (R BECKETT) Wid ran well at Glorious Goodwood in finishing fourth in a 3yo fillies handicap on only her fourth run despite a poor draw. She had raced prominently prior to making all in her novice win but was understandably dropped in from a wide draw at Goodwood. From last she made a dart at the cutaway to ensure a smooth passage and hit the front bu

BEST OF THE REST (SATURDAY)
Rory Paddock looks through Saturday’s action away from the ITV cameras and pinpoints runners in both the U.K. and Ireland not to ignore. 13:53 CHESTER Former course and distance winner Grey Fable takes the trip over from Ireland to a venue he’s had great success at. Two of his three career victories have come here on the banks of the River Dee and with in form jockey Ray Dawson set for the saddle he could add to his Chester successes.

TODAY’S TIPS (THURSDAY)
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

THE HOTLIST
Alan Morris does his weekly recap of recent runners and pinpoints a pair that punters need to put in their trackers and keep a close eye on. ACCADEMIA (E WALKER) Accademia learnt lessons from her seasonal and handicap debut at Kempton, winning twice since and may not be done with yet. Her 7f win at Doncaster indicated a mile would suit better and she got up late over a mile at Nottingham last week showing an excellent attitude. She doesn’t win by far and may stretch out to 9

We head to Scotland for Monday’s best bets as pubdit Matt Polley pinpoints runners from Ayr he’s backing to kick start the week. 14:00 AYR An intriguing two year old novice, where all five could realistically have winning chances. Two unraced horse from decent yards are unknown quantities, and the other three with experience all ran well on their debuts, with likely improvement to come. The horse that stands out however is Love Rome. He ventured to Newmarket from his Middleha

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

TODAY'S TIPS (THURSDAY)
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.

THE HOTLIST
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 ANTEPOST ANGLE - CORAL ECLIPSE
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

ROYAL ASCOT - DAY 5 (SATURDAY)
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

ROYAL ASCOT - DAY 3 (THURSDAY)
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

ROYAL ASCOT - DAY 2 (WEDNESDAY)
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

ROYAL ASCOT - DAY 1 (TUESDAY)
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

CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL 2026 - FRIDAY
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

CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL 2026 - WEDNESDAY
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
