TODAYS TIPS (THURSDAY)
Alan Morris focuses his attention on Thursday’s card from Newcastle where he picks out his best bets of the day. 15:20 NEWCASTLE Antony Brittain does well with his cheap cast-offs from other yards and sales and picked up Without Compromise for 22,000 gunsafter the initial 1.3m guns purchase failed to reach the racecourse for Charlie Appleby. The 4yo full brother to Without Parole and half-brother to Tamarkuz amongst others only started racing in December 2024 but has two stro

TODAYS TIPS (MONDAY)
Matt Polley takes in some all-weather action to kick start the week. 19:15 SOUTHWELL Relocal looks like he needs every yard of this trip and should go well, along with handicap debutant Shumus. Charlie’s Choice is a pound lower than winning over course and distance just under a year ago, and his taken to run well at a price. CHARLIE’S CHOICE (E/W) 19:30 WOLVERHAMPTON Al Rufaa is the class dropper here, but is notoriously difficult to win with. The same applies to Orbaan, ho

SUNDAY SELECTIONS
Kieran McHugh gives his weekly thoughts on Sunday’s action and picks out his best bets of the day. 14:30 CURRAGH Chally Chute was unlcuky in the Irish Cesarewitch and will certainly be a factor if she can repeat that performance. Enfranchise was narrowly denied in Germany, over this distance, so commands respect. A three pounds swing in her favour against some of the princples aids her claim. Uxmal won the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot and maybe shouldve done a tad better ag

TODAYS TIPS (FRIDAY)
Liam Hall gives his best bets of the day to round off the working week with some winners. 16:15 UTTOXETER For this bumper, Plains Drifter has so far shown the most ability out of those who have Racecourse experience, placed in a point before finishing second on his bumper deputy, shrewd yard to follow and shouldn't be out of the frame. Belle Brise is by in form stallion Kingston, ticks boxes for this but the fact he's had a wind operation and wears a tongue tie causes cautio

TODAYS TIPS (THURSDAY)
Alan Morris gives his best bets of the day this Thursday with selections from Stratford and Chelmsford. 14:47 STRATFORD Be Aware is expected to settle down and progress over fences this season but looks a little short on chasing and seasonal debut around a sharp track like Stratford. Overnight Grandeur D’Arme is a good each-way price to take on the favourite with hopefully the full eight turning up. The Alan King yard is in very good form and the 9yo won on seasonal debut ove

TODAYS TIPS (MONDAY)
Matt Polley heads to Newcastle for his best bets to start the week. 16:10 NEWCASTLE Without Compromise landed a few bets last time and he’s open to improvement at this trip. Four Fifty has more talent than his form figures suggest, he could go well at a price. Golspie is the choice. He often runs well in defeat, and is probably the type that needs everything to fall right. If he gets a decent pace to aim at, he could easily run into a place at least at rewarding odds. GOLSPI

THE HOTLIST
Alan Morris's weekly roundup of last weeks horses you need to follow. See who made the hotlist! TIGGA TIME (S HUMPHREY) Sarah Humphrey does well with her string, often with horses picked up from other stables and Tigga Time ran with promise after a yard switch and 465 days off. His young jockey seemed to make a premature move when pushed to the front and that effort and absence seemed to show late on but the 6yo gelding hung in there for a long while. Tigga Time sold for £3
