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

TODAYS TIPS (FRIDAY)
Liam Hall gives his best bets for Friday as he heads around the courses across UK and Ireland. 12:18 MARKET RASEN The Resdev Tyke got off the mark when winning at Wetherby last time out, that form reads well with the second already being a novice hurdle winner. Bluenose Belle has won twice and been second once from three handicap starts, has been a non-runner due to ground the last twice so this good to soft ground could leave her vulnerable. Drivers Pick has struggled since

TODAYS TIPS (THURSDAY)
Alan Morris focuses on Ludlow and Newcastle this Thursday as he looks to jumps racing action for his best bets of the day. 14:17 LUDLOW A few in here need to step up on their limited chasing experience. Another Folly is performing better this season over fences for his in-form yard and will be popular but Jaitroplaclasse looks value to improve for this step up in trip. He was well-backed at Sedgefield last time but hit a flat spot around that speed-flavouring track before sta

THE HOTLIST
Alan Morris gives his weekly round-up of recent runners as he nominates two to follow going forward. MR FINCH (B PAULING) Mr Finch was well-backed on UK and hurdle debut at Fontwell on the strength of one second in an Irish point-to-point maiden and he ran well against previous winners with hurdle experience. The 5yo gelding was a tad keen and overjumped a little but only weakened late on and ran a race full of promise in finishing fourth in a good novice for the course. He s

TODAYS TIPS (MONDAY)
Matt Polley heads to Wolverhampton to kick start the week with his best bets of the day on Monday. 18:30 WOLVERHAMPTON Plenty in with chances, but a lot will depend on who gets the rub of the green over this tricky seven. Arnaz is well enough handicapped to win one of these, but he hasn’t been getting the job done. Connections reach for cheek pieces. Flowstate is very consistent and would be a must for any placepot punters out there. A chance is taken with Bear Rock. She lo

RACE DAY INTERNATIONAL - SHA TIN
Toby Darby heads to Sha Tin for two races to get stuck into this Sunday morning. 08:05 SHA TIN Almost without fail when betting in HK the first place you should look is the mount of Zac Purton, he is a class above and often gets his pick of the bunch. He has been aboard Little Paradise the last 4 times yielding result of 2131 there was still plenty left in the tank last time, despite going up in grade he drawn well and doesn’t carry a big weight he’s hard to oppose.

BEST OF THE REST (SATURDAY)
Away from Saturday’s biggest races pundit Rory Paddock heads to Newcastle to unearth some runners worth following. 17:50 NEWCASTLE Former course and distance winner Bonito Cavalo isn’t in the rich vein of form he’s previously been but as such is racing off a very attractive mark. What’s also worth noting is regular jockey Paul Mulrennan has barely accompanied the horse in his current baron spell but now climbs back in the saddle. Not one to go overboard with but could do far

SUNDAY SELECTIONS
Rory Paddock heads to Chelmsford for his best selections this Sunday. 14:42 CHELMSFORD Former course and distance winner Enthused drops into Class 6 company for the first time in their career. A solid third in a much better race last time is decent form and a repeat of that effort will be enough to see him finish with his head in front. The biggest threat looks to be the consistent Three On Thursday who could give the selection some questions to answer and last time out runne

TV TIPS (SATURDAY)
With ten live races on ITV this Saturday we get stuck in to all the action from Warwick and Kempton plus a bumper race at Fairyhouse. 13:15 WARWICK Without a win in close to two years but Pepe Le Mojo’s last success came over this trip around this time of year. A previous course and distance winner who showed signs of a return to form last time out and now resides off a very attractive mark.

TV TIPS (FRIDAY)
A rare Friday night outing for the ITV cameras as they take in 7 live races from Wolverhampton. 17:30 WOLVERHAMPTON Coachello produced a solid effort to finish third last time out and that should stand him in good stead for another solid effort here. His last win came over this course and distance and with the same talented jockey in the saddle. Off an attractive mark he comes here with a decent each-way chance. Recent winners Zoulu Chief and Kullazain look obvious dangers as

Liam Hall previews his best bets of the day this Friday as he heads to Southwell and Naas for his selections. 13:38 SOUTHWELL Cool customer has finished runner-up on both starts to date, looks sure to be competitive again but looks vulnerable for win purposes. Elderflower Tonic showed a pleasing attitude when winning at the second attempt in Irish Points, makes her rules debut here and is capable of getting involved, but this sharp track might not play to its strengths regard

PLACEPOT PICKS (FRIDAY)
Rory Paddock aims to land a share of the Tote Placepot from Newcastle and Dundalk this Friday. 13:27 NEWCASTLE BUNKER BAY finished second on his only start here at Newcastle and wasn't far away when placing in a novice hurdle. Could be easily overlooked and that might be a foolish step by punters. 13:57 NEWCASTLE Although race experience might play a part it's hard to ignore the well-bred ASIA FORCE who represents a yard that's known for success with their youngsters. 14:27 N

TODAYS TIPS (THURSDAY)
Alan Morris takes in action from Ffos Las and Chelmsford as he aims for some winners this Thursday. 14.40 FFOS LAS Itseemslikeit looks a worthy favourite with form on heavy ground and rather importantly around Ffos Las. The 6yo won well on chase debut and a 7lb rise looks fair but he could end up very short for a 3m chase on heavy and he’s currently making Hunter Legend a viable each-way alternative. Venetia Williams’ charge is a multiple chase winner and has been highly tri

TODAYS TIPS (MONDAY)
Matt Polley looks to the only meeting left in Wolverhampton this Monday. 18:00 WOLVERHAMPTON Experience can count for a lot in these novice events, and New Bay Star has that. It’s slightly disconcerting that connections have reached for the cheek pieces. He’s also been gelded, and his level of form doesn’t really set a high bar, which is why newcomer Asia Force has to be the selection. This impeccably bred colt by Frankel out of a listed winner hails from a yard that knows

THE HOTLIST
Alan Morris hopes to kick off the new year with more runners to keep a close eye on. See who he’s added to the hotlist over the past seven days. BLUES SINGER (A KING) The well-named Blues Singer was a 2m NH flat winner and has shown potential in some good novice hurdles, fading after taking a keen hold behind two very promising novices at Newbury. His dam was a Listed 3m winner and the 5yo gelding is a half-sister to a winner with 2m 4f+ form but the trainer reported he wasn’

Liam Hall previews three races this Friday to hopefully earn some profit. 13:00 AYR Locqirec holds solid French form for his UK debut, possibly will want a stiffer test in time. Like Minded put in a smart performance to finish fourth over course and distance on Racecourse debut, that should stand him in good stead to get much closer today. Wilstar holds good bumper form, was very disappointing when sent off favourite on hurdling debut but after weakening very quickly the yard

TODAYS TIPS (THURSDAY)
Alan Morris gives his top tips to kick start 2026. 13:40 MUSSELBURGH Wise Eagle looks sure to be supported in from early each-way prices as I’m sure I’m not the only ‘brainbox’ waiting for the high-class flat stayer to go up in distance over hurdles and prove there is plenty of scope to widen the gap between his flat and jumps marks. That said he doesn’t seem to be quite as good as he was over the flat and there are some younger rivals progressing well themselves. Moonbow can

TODAYS TIPS (MONDAY)
Matt Polley heads to Doncaster for his best bets of the day to kick start the week. 13:35 DONCASTER Fierce Warrior is a young stayer on the up, but he looked like he needed all of the three mile two furlongs last time, and this drop back on better ground leaves him vulnerable. A chance is taken with Some Scope to bounce back to the form which enabled him to win the Rowland Meyrick this time last year. The application of visors and good ground, gives enough reason to suggest h

Alan Morris takes a look back at the Christmas week and pinpoints two recent runners who could provide even more festive cheer in the weeks and months to come. GNOMON (T LAWES) Following a NH flat winning debut for Ralph Beckett Gnomon had a promising flat season as he stepped up in trip, ending with a 1m 6f Haydock handicap victory. After a transfer to the Wates / Lawes combo he has had two quick promising seconds in novice hurdles over two sharp 2m tracks but never seriousl
