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

Pundit Rory Paddock picks out three runners he expects to do the business to ensure Thursday is profitable. 19:04 SALISBURY German-bred Siena Storm caught the eye when finishing a solid fourth of 13 on debut in what looked a strong maiden at Goodwood, with several of the leading yards represented. She should have learnt plenty from that experience and this step up to a mile looks likely to suit. Indian Lights commands respect, while Andrew Balding's Clarity is another with o

Matt Polley kicks off the week with his top two tips as he heads to Windsor to pinpoint his best bets. 17:45 WINDSOR Post Rider is interesting if she gets left alone on the lead, along with Just An Hour who likes it here. Surely there is more to come from the unexposed Mythological Star. This three year old half brother to stable stalwart Astro King won comfortably on handicap debut just six days ago and can defy the penalty. MYTHOLOGICAL STAR (WIN) 19:15 WINDSOR Ultra comp

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

Matt Polley has been in solid form of late and heads to Ayr and Windsor for his best bets to kick start the week. 16:30 AYR Glasses Up is such an honourable handicapper, especially around here, but whether this slight drop back in trip will be suitable, is questionable. Phantom Shadow ran well upped to this trip last time and has a big chance, but there’s a feeling there’s better to come from Motawaared. This four year old maiden has shown glimmers of a ability up to now, an

Matt Polley kicks off the week with selections from Pontefract and Windsor as he aims to bash the bookies. 16:30 PONTEFRACT Knicks will pop up one day, but has squandered a few good opportunities recently. This could lay between the two three year olds in the field. If you take one piece of Soca Stars form literally behind Naana’s Shadow at Catterick, she would have an outstanding chance, however, Queen Sana gets the vote. Her latest run over course and distance was an exce

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

Matt Polley pinpoints two runners this Monday not to miss as he finds tips for Carlisle and Windsor. 15:20 CARLISLE An interesting staying handicap, with mostly exposed types who are in decent form. It will certainly be a test of stamina with Circuit Breaker likely to take them along. Torcello was an emphatic winner last time out on his favoured deep ground, and So Alex, who is arguably still open to improvement, should go well. A chance is taken with the lightly weighted

Matt Polley pinpoints a pair of runners to kick start the week with selections from Pontefract and Windsor. 18:30 PONTEFRACT Reidh is undeniably well handicapped, and has ventured up from Newmarket, but even this stiff five is likely to be too sharp. Thornaby Pearl is the likely pace, and will be competitive, however, this represents Knicks easiest assignment for a while, and although he’s not a winning machine, this looks a great opportunity for him.. KNICKS (WIN) 19:39 WI

Matt Polley previews races from two different meetings this Monday. 17:10 NEWBURY Nanino Niyati is a decent filly from a very capable and shrewd yard. Her limit has yet been reached. Wanderlust ran well on yard debut at Chester, however, there’s a feeling there’s big performances waiting to happen from Twisting Physics. He has been withdrawn due to fast ground before, but with watering the way it is nowadays, hopefully he’ll take his chance. He’s one to follow. TWISTING PHY

Matt Polley focuses on the action at Windsor this bank holiday Monday as he pinpoints two runners he's backing. 15:53 WINDSOR Robert Cowell will certainly find races for Kylian and Uncle Don, whether that’s today is debatable. Nad Alsheeba Green looks the way to go. He still looks mildly progressive, and a decent gallop to aim at over a flat six furlongs looks ideal. NAD ALSHEEBA GREEN (WIN) 16:25 WINDSOR First Principle looked progressive until pitched into a slightly hig

Matt Polley heads to Windsor as he pinpoints two runners worth backing to kick start the week. 18.10 WINDSOR Chimes Of Thunder will certainly be popular. A typical improver from Somerville lodge, who went very close to winning at Haydock last time. Withtearsinmyeyes had every chance last time, but should run well again, however, a chance is taken with the slightly more exposed Tahalel. She’s by Blue Point but there’s stamina on the dam side, and this prominent racer should

In form pundit Matt Polley heads to Windsor for his best bets this Monday. 17.12 WINDSOR Amateur handicaps are not usually an ideal betting proposition, however, there’s a potential improver in here that could be well handicapped under a competent rider. Hengest is a lightly race four year old, from a nice family, and is trying to find his feet. His latest start at Epsom in a decent novice showed there was plenty of ability to be unlocked, and this step up in trip could be t

More weekend action on ITV this Sunday as the cameras return to Windsor whilst also taking in additional races at Fakenham and over in Ireland from Thurles. 13:20 WINDSOR Salver, Doyen Quest and Laurens Bay renew their rivalry after filling the top three spots in a Grade 2 contest in December. Of the trio Salver has raced again since when being stepped up in grade and finishing in a moderate fourth. Gary Moore's runner will appreciate a drop in grade and looks capable of goi

Live ITV action this Friday with races from Windsor, Market Rasen and Newcastle. 13:50 WINDSOR It's unlikely Alinilam is going to reverse the recent form when finishing behind Hansard and the Gary Moore trained runner has a far better chance, especially with less weight to carry. Be Aware represents the top yard of Dan Skelton and after finishing second in arguably a better race looks the one to beat. The consistent No Questions Asked looks the most likely to trouble the sel

Matt Polley heads to Windsor for his best bets to kick start the week with a few winners. 14:32 WINDSOR An interesting novice stakes with Hilitany likely to be popular. A course and distance winner, but the ground will be different here, and he may be vulnerable under a penalty. The Clive Cox pair look interesting. Authentic Charm definitely has races in him, but maybe a nursery after this. Generous Rascal looks the most appealing. Half brother to a Guineas winner in Chaldean

Matt Polley aims to kick start the week with some winners as he pinpoints his best bets this Monday. 16:37 CARLISLE Redarna is a course and distance winner, and his advancing years are no concern, he’ll run well. Orangesandlemons still has more races in him off his current mark, however it’s hard to get away from Reidh. He was primed to run a big race at Galway off a lenient mark, things didn’t pan out there, but despite a less than ideal draw, he still remains attractively

Matt Polley focuses on Monday's action from Windsor as he picks out two runners to back to start the week off with a winner. 16:52 WINDSOR Cabeza De Llave is running consistently well, and likes it here, impossible to keep out of the frame. Beaumadier has also been knocking on the door, however Antiphon is too well handicapped to ignore, especially under the capable claimer Jack Dace. He’s given one more chance to take advantage. ANTIPHON (WIN) 19:30 WINDSOR Summertime Blues

Alan Morris returns with his weekly Thursday selections as he picks out two runners he's siding with. 19:15 CHELMSFORD The draw looks set to play a part here with stall 10 a major concern for Medinilla. Respect should be given to Queue Dos for solid sharp track and all-weather form and if she can get an early position from stall 7 without overdoing it she will be hard to beat. A chance however is taken on Left Over Love from trap 3. The 3yo filly has shown plenty of pace ove

Matt Polley pinpoints his best two bets of the day this Monday and previews both races. 18:05 CARLISLE Hostelry has had a cracking season up till now and it would be folly to rule out another bold show. Takteek has travelled a long way for his yard debut, however Shaladar looks interesting under the very capable Jack Callan. He’s hardly a winning machine, but there’s no doubt the handicapper has given him a real chance here. SHALADAR (E/W) 20:28 WINDSOR Dandy Khan was well
