Work can earn you the Munny in the Supreme March 10, 2025 WE’RE finally here, the Cheltenham Festival, four days of unmissable action with the stars of Jumps racing coming out to play. The roar that greets the lifting of the tapes to begin the first race, the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle (1.20pm), is perhaps the loudest of the week, but four and a half minutes later there [...]
Take on Lossiemouth with pair of improving mares March 10, 2025 AS FAR as big betting weeks go, nothing comes close to the Cheltenham Festival. The entire Jumps season has been building to these four days at Prestbury Park, and it really is a punters’ paradise. However, looking at this year’s Champion Hurdle (4.00pm), I’m reminded that some races are there to just sit back and [...]
L’Eau du Sud a great each-way bet in the Arkle March 10, 2025 DAN Skelton is having a brilliant season, with a first trainer’s championship now a best-priced 2/7. He has some big bullets to fire this week and the first of them is L’EAU DU SUD in the My Pension Expert Arkle Novices’ Chase (2.00pm).

Eustace sees Light at the end of the tunnel for Years Charm March 7, 2025 Racing in Hong Kong gets underway with an 11-race programme at Sha Tin on Sunday and includes a couple of contests on the all-weather surface. This will be last chance saloon for a number of gallopers on the card whose connections still hold aspirations of making the line-up for the BMW HK Derby in a [...]
Broadway Boy to put his name in lights in the Ultima March 4, 2025 WAITING is nearly over for the Olympics of Jumps racing with less than a week to go to the Cheltenham Festival. We learned the handicap weights last week and I think I’ve found another bet in these devilishly difficult-to-solve contests. The Ultima Handicap Chase is the first handicap of the meeting, and The Changing Man [...]
