Toby Derby focuses on three group races at Meydan this Saturday. 15:25 MEYDAN Tuz returns as a 9 year old but he will still be hot property in the betting. Last seen 3rd in the Golden Shaheen prior to that he had won 6 times in a row over C&D. El Nasseeb faced an unlikely reversal in form LTO but I feel as though that was due to the poor/change in tactics and that mistake won’t be made again today. He usually sits off the pace it was strange they went forward and ended up pay

Former jockey turned pundit Liam Hall takes a glance at Friday's racing and previews the best of the action with his top tips. 17:13 WOLVERHAMPTON There's a few in this contest who have been quite consistent at this level, Ana Emaraty is crying out for a bit of luck in running which you don't always get around Wolverhampton, Book Of Lir and Amarachi are both looking like they need a little bit more for win purposes so a chance is taken on Bizarre Law, hugely disappointing si

Alan Morris previews Thursday's action and pinpoints two runners worth backing. 16:27 LUDLOW Thank You Blue is out again under a penalty, but his regular pilot cannot claim and there is a drop in trip and a new track away from Sedgefield to contend with. Olivia Kate jumps left, but still occasionally runs well here if I don’t tip her! Raging Al looks to be well-handicapped on his flat form and this course may play to his strengths if he can lay up without being too keen. RAG

Sam King looks to the all-weather for his best bets this Tuesday with action from Newcastle and Southwell. 15:12 NEWCASTLE Seven Fires looks like the type to continue progressing with racing and she can get off the mark third time out in the six-furlong maiden at Newcastle. Trainer Jack Channon has been operating at a 20% strike rate for the last fortnight and I suspect this well put-together daughter of Sioux Nation has more to offer. A pleasing fourth on debut at Lingfield,

Matt Polley finds two runners worth backing to kick start the week. 15:45 PLUMPTON Junior Des Mottes will be popular, especially with his small yard in excellent form, however, Fakenham form sometimes can be misleading. Glengolly bolted in at Hereford two starts ago, and if you can forgive his latest run in deep ground, he’d have a squeak. Minella Kaiser looks every inch a chaser, but it hasn’t quite worked out for him. He’s a dour stayer and hopefully the quicker tempo of

Kieran McHugh previews the best of Sunday's action from both the UK and Ireland as he pinpoints two runners to get stuck into. 14:50 FONTWELL An interesting renewal of the National Spirit. Phantomofthepoints arrives here after a win at Warwick and a good performance at Haydock but more is surely needed. Nurse Susan is in receipt of weight all around and has been performing well but she could find this a tad more difficult in open company. Potters Charm bounced back to form wi

Liam Hall preview the best of Friday’s action including the flat debut of Constitution Hill. 15:45 EXETER The Devon National sees top weight Largy Port line up for the Nicholls team, handy 7lb removed by a talented conditional, pulled up on his only try at an extreme trip, first time blinkers are a concern if they light him up too much over this sort of distance. Art Decco holds course and distance form which should stand him in good stead but will need to improve again to ri

Alan Morris previews his best two bets of the day this Thursday. 16:17 SEDGEFIELD Mersey Street is in sound form and handled this unique track well in winning last time out for a yard that will want to crack on now. He clearly stays further and this looks a weaker race on paper than his last win and can boss this small field. Too Cool Forshrule is respected for an under-rated yard that has maintained his ability. He was backed into favouritism in Mersey Street’s win but unsea

Matt Polley focuses his attention on the card at Carlisle this Monday as he hunts for winners to kick start the week. 13:35 CARLISLE Here Comes Georgie will be happier back down in grade, and his run at Doncaster two starts ago was decent. Hardy Du Seuil isn’t the most consistent, but will relish this stiff two miles. This trip is short of Hello Judges optimum, however, he loves it here, and it if it turns into a real test, he’ll have the tools to deal with it. HELLO JUDGE

Kieran McHugh heads to Punchestown and Musselburgh for his best bets for Sunday. 14:30 PUNCHESTOWN An interesting race. The Lovely Man looks a big threat for Gavin Cromwell and probably justifies his favouritism. Uncle Pat has form behind some smart horses and unseated early at Leopardstown. Paul Townend takes the ride today and with a clean round, he could come good. Prends Garde A Toi should also be there or thereabouts. He fell early doors two weeks ago but baring a no-sho

The two day Saudi Cup meeting is still relatively new to the calendar and last years clash between Forever Young and Romantic Warrior will be tough to beat but there are still some great racehorses on show from across the globe. 15:35 RIYADH Lazzat was my favourite racehorse last year and his demolition in the QE II at Royal Ascot was out of this world. It proved he handles quicker conditions and if replicating that run I can’t see anything getting in his way. He beat Satono

Liam Hall previews Friday's racing across Scotland and Ireland as he previews the action at Kelso and Dundalk. 14:30 KELSO A competitive looking handicap with many Kelso specialists returning. Both Berties Ballet and Heart Above for the Sayer team have good records here as does Ginger Mail and all are very much capable of being involved again. Travis Wheatley was sent off favourite last time when stepped up hugely in trip which clearly didn't work, the return right back down

Alan Morris looks to Thursday's action from Leicester and Taunton. 13:30 LEICESTER & 15:15 LEICESTER The Laura Morgan yard looks to be back in form with some well-handicapped horses ready to strike over fences, particularly those with hurdling handicap marks for a yard associated with the pointing scene and chasing types. Grandad’s Cap 13:30 and Classical Sting 15:15 look ready to go in again in a short-priced double. The former drops in trip under a penalty but is well in

Matt Polley previews the action on Monday with his best bets of the day. 16:15 PLUMPTON Little Wren will likely be all the rage here after winning comfortably at Fakenham last time. Impossible to say she can’t follow up here off a basement mark, but it’s a different test. Minella Kaiser is open to a lot of improvement. He’s a big horse, who has taken a while to get going, hence only five runs to date. He looks an out and out stayer, and that could be what’s required here. MI

Toby Darby pinpoints two runners from Sha Tin this Sunday morning. 08:05 SHA TIN Numbers brings strong form from Australia, where he was a multiple winner and placed in Group company. Since arriving in Hong Kong, he’s shown promise, finishing third on debut before winning well over a longer distance LTO. Although he carries more weight, he starts from the bottom of the handicap still looks well treated. Likely to go forward in a race lacking pace, he could control things fro

Liam Hall heads to Dundalk this Friday as he analysed two races he’s got tips for. 18:15 DUNDALK Una Matata got the job done in a claimer last time, likely to be at the head of the betting here but winning rider Sam Coen isn't aboard this time and therefore neither will the 7lb claim, this makes her vulnerable, Go Out looks ready to land his first success after finishing second last time on handicap debut, runs here off the same mark and the step up in trip looks the right de

John Arnold looks ahead to the major handicap chase held at Kempton that's not too far away. History: The Kempton Ladbrokes Trophy Handicap Chase is a key race in the National Hunt calendar, particularly during the winter months. The Handicap Chase typically attracts a competitive field, featuring horses that are gearing up for key races in the second half of the National Hunt season, including the Cheltenham Festival. With a distance of 3 miles it tests the horses’ speed an

Teo races to get stuck into this Thursday from pubdit Alan Morris. 14.00 HUNTINGDON It seems churlish to desert Paggane who has ran well for The Hotlist in three runs prior to a disappointing effort last time. She jumped right there at Doncaster and was held up in a hot race she couldn’t really get in to. She raced prominently in picking up two similar listed Mares’ chases prior to that but doesn’t appeal as a betting proposition at long odds on at first show, despite the ret

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)

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
