TODAYS TIPS (MONDAY)
Matt Polley previews his best bets for Monday’s action. 13:02 SOUTHWELL Roger Rarebit will most likely be popular to follow up his win at Warwick, but consistency is not his strong point. Whatsyourproblem is also a contender. He wasn’t beaten far over course and distance last time. There could be some value in Duhallow Tommy. He won’t mind any further rain, he’s also had his wind tweaked, but most importantly he’s been given a chance by the handicapper. DUHALLOW TOMMY (WIN)

SUNDAY SELECTIONS
Kieran McHugh pinpoints two runners he's siding with to end the week with some winners. 14:20 MARKET RASEN Circuit Breaker has spent most of his time on the All-Weather recently and makes his return to hurdling after a year’s absence. This could be a difficult task. Outer Banks won by 13 lengths on his handicap debut at Wetherby, but he has been off for nearly a year. He could be vulnerable. Sunshine Diamond has been runner-up on his last two starts, and connections are in g

TV TIPS (SATURDAY)
Racing across three countries is set to be shown on ITV this Saturday including two Grade 1 races from Leopardstown. 12:55 SANDOWN Bollin Thou produced an absolute demolition job to claim a 12 length victory when last seen earlier in the month. This is a step up in level but deserves a shot in this grade and looks capable of making it four wins in a row. Fellow last time out winners Precious Metal and Calme Olympien look the most obvious threats and it's the Tim Vaughan runn

TODAYS TIPS (FRIDAY)
Liam Hall heads across multiple meetings this Friday and pinpoints a handful of runners not to ignore. 13:10 CATTERICK An open looking Juvenile hurdle where the likely favourite Square d'Alboni should take all the beating here with Harry Skelton taking over the steering, made a pleasing debut when third last time behind a smart looking Triumph Hurdle contender, this lad also holds an entry in the Triumph and should be winning this. Newcomers Hellion, Shamsat and Prettylady s

TODAYS TIPS (THURSDAY)
Alan Morris gives his best two bets of the day this Thursday. 13:43 AYR Saracen Beau will be popular here as a lightly-raced horse back at Nicky Richards and over hurdles but with a slight question mark over the ground and this is an open handicap with a few other improvers such as One Mill Harbour, Diamond Geezer and Rock Dj. At much larger odds another chance is given to Coconut Splash down in trip in first-time cheekpieces after an improved showing for most of the 3m trip

TODAYS TIPS (MONDAY)
Matt Polley sticks to Hereford for his best bets of the day this Monday. 14:30 HEREFORD Followcato is in a rich vein of form currently, and he’s certainly worth considering despite a rise in the weights. This looks a straight match between Ski Lodge and Risk De Pluie. Ski Lodge arguably has the two best pieces of form in this race, his run behind Jo Coko and his second behind Scorpio Rising, however, despite the soft ground, Hereford may be too sharp for him. That leaves Ri

SUNDAY SELECTIONS
Kieran McHugh picks out two runners he’s following this Sunday. 13:25 NAAS Workahead was disappointing in the Supreme but had good form prior to that. He is interesting. Farren Glory is a Grade One winner in his novice hurdle days and reverts to this code following a slightly disappoint chasing campaign. He could just be best left watched today. Karbau has been behind some smart horses and Townend and Mullins have a phenomenal record in this race. He is the one to beat. KARBA

RACE DAY INTERNATIONAL - SHA TIN
Toby Darby previews the big races at Sha Tin this Sunday morning. 07:00 SHA TIN In my opinion the greatest racehorse in the world is back in action Sunday Morning Ka Ying Rising. Now it will go as no surprise that I think he will win the race, there is still a good race on for 2nd! It’s a joy to watch Ka Ying Rising and I’m sure we will see his replay plastered everywhere tomorrow. Last time out Raging Blizzard collared Fast Network for the forecast spot however I expect the

TV TIPS (SATURDAY)
We preview every race from Cheltenham this Saturday plus the three live ITV races from Doncaster. 12:05 CHELTENHAM Jordans Cross looks the most likely victor when falling two starts back. He got back to winning ways when last seen and despite the additional weight posing a problem he'll appreciate this longer trip and should be there or thereabouts. Califet En Vol and Berlovento pose the biggest threats. JORDANS CROSS (E/W) 12:40 CHELTENHAM The unbeaten Maestro Conti and Min

TODAYS TIPS (FRIDAY)
Former jockey Liam Hall looks across the cards this Friday as he previews the action and gives his best bets of the day. 14:50 DONCASTER This should be all about one horse, Jamaicaine has finally got the hang of things and comes here looking for a hat trick, handy 7lb conditional removes the 7lb winners penalty and that makes her seriously well handicapped here and shouldn't get beat. Vanilla Dancer often runs a solid race and she should be picking up minor honours in this gr

RACE DAY INTERNATIONAL - MEYDAN
Rory Paddock takes a look at the action from Meydan with a whole host of group races to delve into he previews the best racing on the card. 14:05 MEYDAN Commissioner King finished a close second in a better race last time out and the form of that contest could be franked later on the card. This looks a weaker affair and with fewer runners is the one to beat. COMMISSIONER KING (WIN) 14:40 MEYDAN Marbaan and Mysterious Night filled the top two spots in this race last year and

TODAYS TIPS (THURSDAY)
Alan Morris gives his best bets from Wetherby and Newcastle this Thursday. 15:40 WETHERBY It seems churlish to oppose Bollin Thou on his quest for a four-timer and he only briefly looked in trouble three days ago, with that being put down to the shorter trip rather than penalties and exertions catching up with him. Sean Bowen is back on board and he should go in again but those concerns still give a little doubt. You Did and Clondaw Royale, however, look very strong each-way

TODAYS TIPS (TUESDAY)
Sam King focuses his attention on the card at Newcastle and pinpoints two runners to get stuck into this Tuesday. 12:43 NEWCASTLE A mark of 72 should prove more than workable for Selenic based on her battling novice success over a mile at Kempton a year ago and you can put a line straight through her handicap debut effort at Southwell, where she found herself badly hampered when making eye-catching progress. A stoutly-bred daughter of Sea The Moon out of a Teofilo mare, Sele

TODAYS TIPS (MONDAY)
Matt Polley bagged a 14/1 winner last Monday and sets his sights on two runners to kick off the week. 13.08 KEMPTON Apache Green and Super Hit are in good recent form, so obviously they have to be considered, along with Equion, who does know how to win. Mbappe looks the one to be on here. He has caught the eye on his last couple of starts, and is undeniably well handicapped. MBAPPE (WIN) 13.38 KEMPTON Magna bids for the hat trick here under Oisin Murphy. She’s found her ni

RACE DAY INTERNATIONAL - SHA TIN
Toby Darby looks to the action at Sha Tin on Sunday morning and pinpoints two runners he thinks are worth backing. 0 7:35 SHA TIN Flow Water Flow has been somewhat unlucky not to have won so far in his short career having been 2nd on all 3 starts. He has been seeing his races out well so the extra furlong should be what he needs and he also gets the talented Dylan Browne Mcmonagle who will also be eyeing his first winner on these shores. Amazing Gaze has ran well at Happy Va

SUNDAY SELECTIONS
Kieran McHugh heads to Thurles for his best bets of the day this Sunday as he pinpoints two runners not to ignore. 12:40 THURLES Forty Coats is a standout here having finished fourth behind The New Lion at Cheltenham. He has been missing from the race-track for a while before a below par return 20 days ago. Ifallgorswell will punish any fitness issues of the selection.

TV TIPS (SUNDAY)
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

TV TIPS (SATURDAY)
Seven races this Saturday from Ascot and Haydock as we preview all of the live ITV action to kick start the weekend. 13:25 HAYDOCK Hurricane Pat and Old Park Star look head and shoulders above the rest and with only six runners entered there isn't even room to hunt for an each-way alternative. Although Hurricane Pat has achieved more by winning a listed race last time out it's hard not to be impressed with Old Park Star's demolition job when last seen and as such gets the no

ALL-WEATHER ACTION (SATURDAY)
Pundit Rory Paddock previews every race from Lingfield and Southwell this Saturday as he aims to grab some winners on the dirt to kick start the weekend. 11:30 LINGFIELD The step up to 10 furlongs looks tailor made for Lord Mayor and with the booking of top jockey Oisin Murphy he looks the one to beat. Bottom-weight Onyeisi looks overpriced and the one most likely to cause the selection some issues. LORD MAYOR (WIN) 12:05 LINGFIELD Girl Of Gold races off a very low mark and a

TV TIPS (FRIDAY)
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
