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

A tough day for punters this Saturday, with plenty of competitive races hitting the ITV screens, yet we cover each contest and give our best bets. 13:25 NEWBURY Mount Atlas and Tabletalk renew their rivalry after being separated by just a head when last seen, with the Andrew Balding-trained Mount Atlas narrowly coming out on top off level weights. The pair should be closely matched once again, although Tabletalk is now 3lbs better off and could be capable of reversing that f

Kicking off the week with action from Ripon and Windsor as pundit and in-form tipster Matt Polley gives his best bets for Monday. 15:54 RIPON Some familiar faces line up here, with that feeling of who’s turn will it be this time? Dark Cloud Rising is in form, has won here, and has the best draw. It’s been a long time since Commanche Falls won, but it was off a twenty one pound higher mark, and he’s in decent form. Rousing Encore gets the vote. He’s a very good sprint handicap

Saturday's ITV action hosts competitive cards from Newbury, Market Rasen and Ripon, featuring quality flat and National Hunt racing. Pundit Rory Paddock has analysed the key runners to bring you expert race previews and best bets ahead of another fascinating Saturday afternoon of racing. 13:55 NEWBURY Oceans Four exceeded expectations when finishing a creditable fourth at 80/1 in the Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot and, now easing in grade, another bold bid looks likely.

Away from the ITV cameras, Saturday's cards at Ripon, Doncaster and Nottingham provide several interesting betting opportunities. This article highlights three standout selections from the late-afternoon and evening action, utilising in-depth race analysis to uncover horses that could easily go under the radar. 16:25 RIPON Cadarn finally broke through for his first victory since joining Kevin Ryan when springing a 28/1 surprise in a competitive handicap at York. Despite the e

Alan Morris tips Thursday runners from Ripon and Worcester as he hunts down winners to land the spoils. 16:10 RIPON Jet Warrior should win this easily, 5lb well-in after a good 6f win at Ayr last week and odds-on backers may have little trouble collecting on the lightly-raced 4yo gelding. My only nagging doubt to avoid lumping on is that ultimately 7f might suit better and he pulled away late on from behind a strong pace last time. He was running on over Southwell’s 7f previo

Alan Morris pinpoints a pair of prospects that are set to enter the stalls at Ripon this Thursday. 14:35 RIPON Quite a test on debut for some of these unraced 3yos over nearly 11f around Ripon’s undulations. Sea and Sun, Sun Lord and Picaro could be good prospects but today the street-smart course form and potential of Urchin should rule. Karl Burke has made his customary good start to the season and his Ulysses gelding has plenty of stamina in the pedigree to progress from

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

All the live ITV action from Newbury and Ripon as the team previews every race. 13:50 NEWBURY This is not a strong version of the Group 3 Geoffrey Freer unless a 3yo steps up and shows some St Leger credentials. Pinhole won a small field race off 98 and there is still hope after only five runs that he can live up to the grade of previous attempts at Group company. Candleford may attempt to control the pace again and Epic Poet amongst others could be unsuited by the small fiel

Matt Polley pinpoints his best bets to start the week with both selections coming from the evening meeting from Ripon. 18:30 RIPON Popty Ping has experience and the best form of those who have ran, and along with Just A Girl, who is open to improvement from her debut, will go well. However the nicely bred newcomer Daneh Of Dandy won’t have to be a world beater to get off the mark at the first time of asking. DANEH OF DANDY (WIN) 19:30 RIPON Sea Regal looks set to go well fr

17:30 NOTTINGHAM Ghost Story stayed on strongly to win over course and distance last summer, her sole career success to date, and although she failed to build on that thereafter, all runs came either on the AW or in very testing conditions and over trips in excess of what she encounters today. Fresh could be the best time to catch her and this race looks to be lacking any real depth so hopefully a return to this track and trip can pay dividends today. Dawn Of Liberation beat

16:40 RIPON Another close race with Copper And Five and Sprint Festival looking like the main contenders. Copper and Five is a course and distance winner and got back to winning ways at Beverley. This could be harder. Spring Festival has been on the rise and there’s nothing stopping that continuing. However, Arranmore returned with a good third at Wolverhampton and can come on for that. He has a nice weight to boot and should run well. ARRANMORE (WIN) 16:55 STRATFORD The fina

15.10 RIPON Green Pursuit will be popular having been well backed on stable debut to win at Catterick eight days ago. He is only 1 lb well-in with a 6lb penalty for his class 5 success, and as a hold-up horse with 7f potential he may be vulnerable here at Ripon. Cairdeas has form racing more prominently on undulating tracks at a higher level and sneaks into this 0-80 off 81. The gelded 3yo is the only entry on the card for Cieren Fallon and the in-form William Haggas who has

20:10 Ripon Jason Ward is a trainer who has struggled with success at Ripon and is still yet to get off the mark here this season. He trains Kings Pavilion who has a good record over this C&D and presents a realistic chance to get him back to winning ways. Consistently placing and putting in solid performances over the past few years, his most recent run here does not particularly tell the full tale of his performance. A creditable 4th placed finish in the end after a three w
