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

Alan Morris heads to Thirsk and Epsom to tackle the bookies this Thursday with some runners not to ignore. 16:10 THIRSK Captain Cess looks as if this 7f should suit and after finding trouble last time over 5 1/2f he will be a warm order here in a moderate race. Coconut Bay hails from a stable in good form and a recent third at a similar sharp left-handed track in Catterick augurs well for his chance here. At much bigger odds Elashgar could go well with the suggestion that 7

Liam Hall previews action from Thirsk and Fairyhouse this Wednesday as he pinpoints runners not to ignore. 13:08 THIRSK On paper this looks a match race between Possessive and Kodiak Breeze. Kodiak Breeze bumped into an impressive winner at Thirsk on debut called Arapho Gold (runs 13:38 Thirsk), made amends for that defeat when winning nicely at Redcar but the awkward head carriage shown was a concern if he was to get into a fight which Possesive might be able to force that

It's the first classic of the season as all eyes turn to Newmarket and the 2,000 Guineas with the ITV action coming from 'Flat HQ', Goodwood and Thirsk this Saturday. 13:30 GOODWOOD A drop back in trip looks a sensible move for Fitzella, who shaped as though failing to stay seven furlongs in the Nell Gwyn earlier this season. She travelled well for much of the race before weakening late on, so this return to six furlongs could see her in a better light. However, with just on

Matt Polley heads to Thirsk and Kempton to kick start the week with his best bets of the day this Monday. 16:50 THIRSK Ravishing Beauty has been in fine form of late, and she surely must be thereabouts. Day Of Grace is of obvious interest. On pedigree rain shouldn’t be an issue, but the fact they’ve ventured to Thirsk would suggest she’s no star. Bintshuaa is the pick. A winner on soft ground, sandwiches between two decent aw efforts suggest to can pick up the winning thread

Sam King is bang in form after a very profitable Glorious Goodwood, he returns with his best bets of the day this Friday. 15:20 MUSSELBURGH A competitive seven-furlong handicap, which could go the way of the Far Above Dream. Trained by the in-form James Owen, this unexposed three-year-old made a taking stable debut when scoring at Bath earlier in the season before finding Class 2 company at York too taxing next time out. However, back in calmer waters, he bounced back with a

Rory has a handful of selections he thinks will go well and outrun their odds this Saturday. 15:25 THIRSK With just the one win from 24 career starts Bayraat couldn’t be described as prolific but he’s produced some eye catching performances nonetheless. None more do than his recent third in a competitive 19 runner handicap at York. At the age of nine his better days might be behind him but a repeat of his last run would be enough to see him go close once more. Dothan and Luci

Liam Hall picks out his best two bets of the day this Tuesday with tips from Beverley and Thirsk. 15:00 BEVERLEY The three horses here thst have had a run so far haven't shown enough to suggest they'll be winning a novice stakes so it'll be one of the three newcomers. Tanaka has plenty of winners in the pedigree but is out of low rated dam. Her sire Mehmas does strike with newcomers quite often however. Perfect Price is bred to be sharp being by Shaman and out of a Dutch Art

14:15 THIRSK Royal Fixation is a daughter of Palace Pier with plenty of speed in the pedigree, there's winners in France in the family which means the ground at Thirsk might be too lively for her. Mandarin Spirit is a daughter of Ghaiyyath, should enjoy the quicker surface but may want further in time. Loma Express is a half sister to a group placed sprinter, bred to be very quick and being by Lucky Vega should make a smart two year old sprinter. LOMA EXPRESS (WIN) 18:15 BE

Rory Paddock looks at Saturday's racing away from the ITV cameras as he heads to Thirsk, Bangor-on-Dee, Doncaster and Uttoxeter. 13:45 BANGOR-ON-DEE Got Grey has been tested in much better company than this of late and should find this level an easier ask. The race is still competitive, but the former course and distance winner can make a return to the winner's enclosure. GOT GREY (WIN) 14:10 THIRSK As the only former course and distance winner Alligator Alley deserves a ton

With the 2,000 Guineas taking centre stage plus action from Thirsk and Goodwood we preview all six live ITV races on Saturday. 13:45 NEWMARKET If you're looking for a horse with solid course form then look no further than Two Tribes. He went well at this meeting last year when returning from a sizable absence and can do so again. Obvious threats come in the form of former course and distance winners More Thunder and Woodhay Wonder as is the consistent Aramram. TWO TRIBES (E/

Away from Saturday's ITV action Rory Paddock picks his best bets of the day. 16:00 CURRAGH A recent run just under three weeks ago should see the Martin Hassett trained Secret Magician return much fitter this time around. An encouraging 9th of 15 on unfavorable heavy ground was a solid enough effort. Now, back on better ground and at a venue he's won at before, more can be expected. Fivecromwellplace shouldn't be far away and a return to turf for El Bello can produce a marke

Luke Tucker is our man on a mission to find some winners this Friday and he heads to Thirsk & Newmarket to hunt them down today.

Dean Kilbryde finds selections from the opposite ends of the country as he tips up runners from Thirsk and Bath this Wednesday.

The big one this Saturday is the 2,000 Guineas and the team previews all the live action from ITV. Will our decent run of form continue?

15:40 Goodwood – Stewards Cup After a spectacular week so far, Goodwood once again takes centre stage on the fifth and final day of its ”Glorious” meeting. Having seen the likes of Too Darn Hot, Pinatubo and Japanese Superstar Deirdre strutting their stuff, perhaps rather aptly, today see’s the handicappers taking centre stage in the Stewards Cup. First run in 1840 and known as a heritage handicap, this 6 furlong sprint is open to horses aged three and above and has a purse o

17:00 Musselburgh Although there’s just the five horses set to line up in this seller a case could easily be made for most if not all of the runners. Many of them have taken a drop in grade but it’s the youngest in the field Billy Dylan that surely looks the most obvious winner? Running off a mark of 82 is an indicator as to just how much he’s shown this term compared to his rivals and the fact that the weights don’t reflect that in full is a huge plus. David Nolan climbs abo

16:45 Salisbury Rod Millman looks to have a strong hand in this contest. Master Grey and Singing The Blues are the trainers runners who look likely to be at the head of the market. Master Grey has a little to prove after a moderate effort last time, but looked on an upward curve before that, and could continue to improve. Singing The Blues has improved greatly this season, proving to be very consistent. Only two pound higher for his latest second place (form franked) looks su

16:15 Thirsk Ingleby Hollow won a couple of hurdles races at Sedgefield earlier in the year, before switching back to the flat in April. He hasn’t been in the same form in three turf runs so far this season but returns to a course where he has won before and looks to have a good chance of getting back to winning ways now dropped down in class and 4lbs below his last winning mark. Mark Johnston has his stable in good order so last time out winner Francophilia looks a danger de

15:40 Newbury – Lockinge Stakes Newbury hosts today’s feature race, the Group 1 Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes. The first British Group 1 race this season for older horses run over the straight mile. It’s fair to say this seasons renewal is a case of quantity over quality. Seven of the last ten previous winners were rated 120 plus. The highest rated horses in this years race are the filly Laurens and Romanised, both rated 117, and only 2lbs separating the entire field, with the ex
