BLUE HUSSAR - YORK 5pm - 11/1 Coeur De Lion beat Barizan 4 lengths over 2 miles at Nottingham back in May. Zenafire beat Barizan 16 lengths over 1 mile 6 at Haydock in June. Blue Hussar beat Zenafire 19 lengths over 2 miles at York last month. As always with collateral form it's dangerous to...

SAM SPINNER now into 11/1 from 20s for the Silver Trophy. Hot enough race but assuming the logical progression over the summer am hoping he'll be bang there at the finish. Was banging the drum for MALAYA on the Cheltenham ante-post thread and I see her as a top candidate for the Triumph Hurdle...

Equally progressive! There's the two against the field, hope they both get in. Wholestone is ripe to be opposed imo, will be a strong favourite but NTD has indicated that there's a likelihood he'll be sent chasing before xmas, not sure how much they'll flog him in this pipe opener, especially as...

Only ever run with some soft in the going, and with no rain forecast ground is likely to be good.... Hoping they might turn the taps on - with horses like Finian's Oscar and Topofthegame unlikely to take their chance first time out on firmish ground they will surely do what they can to try and...

Putting this one up early for Saturday (before final decs) as I just don't understand the price. SAM SPINNER - Silver Trophy Handicap - 20/1 Never out of the frame in 6 starts, his form reads as a really top class progressive horse. Wholestone will be a worthy favourite, especially with the...

I've gone overboard already. Finians Oscar (any race) and Samcro (Neptune) by far my two biggest punts. The Arkle i've backed River Wylde and Movewiththetimes (out this Friday I think), Champion Hurdle i've lumped on Buveur D'air each way (seems by far the safest bet), and my other big fancy i'm...

My Triumph Hurdle fancy (ludicrous to have such a thing at this stage!) MALAYA is down to run at Chepstow on Sunday and I have got Paddys to add her to the site today at 20/1. Malaya bolted up on hurdles debut (by 30 lengths) and won a listed race at Auteuil against the best 3yo fillies in...

My shot at the first 3 would be: Dschingis Secret Ulysses Enable Hope I'm wrong and the filly proves herself to be a superstar, she'll have to be with the season she's had, that profile worries me for a 3 year old arc winner

Only race I'd be confident of opposing him in would be the Gold Cup for me. Form of his point win over 3m nothing special, and I'd be surprised if he got up that hill as has a tendency to pull pretty hard early in races. Our Duke my fancy for the Gold Cup at this stage, that Irish national win...

I'm pretty convinced now that Yorkhill will be going for the Champion Hurdle. I don't see where his race is if they keep him chasing. Champion Chase they have Douvan, Min and Great Field and I can see two of those lining up in that race - no way would Mullins throw three of his big guns at the...

Wow that was poor

A horse that beat Douvan runs in the 5:25 at Carlisle tonight (bet those words have never been uttered before), and i think he's worth a little each way punt at 22/1. KONIG DAX beat Douvan back in May 2014 on soft ground, but since then his career has been a bit of a mess. Having gone through...

Did the double and singles so nice enough return. Moore riding out of his skin! On Thomas Hobson in the next, tempting...

Great battle that. Time To Study now 2/1 across the board in the next, that's a fair price I think, Seamour the danger at the weights if recapturing old form

All valid points. The step up in distance is a slight concern for me - showing improvement and top form at distances from 13f - 16f I don't think there was the need to step him up in trip just yet. Montaly EW on the face of it might be the safest bet in this race, sure to stay and in great form...
