Stone to score at Ascot

Riverside Theatre has a great record on his seasonal debuts and is no doubt to be feared in the Betfair Ascot Chase at 3.00 but we like Kauto Stone’s chances.
Available at a very generous 4/1, Paul Nicholls looks a classic each-way bet-to-nothing, as long as all eight runners stand their ground for the Grade 1 […]

Grand National bet

The Grand National weights were announced today and it is bet time.
We have had our eyes on a couple of potential entries for some time and, with markets already moving, the time is right for an investment on one of them.

Confidence strengthens!

As we tipped Sizing Europe at 16/1 and 9/1 for last year’s Champion Chase, as well as 13/2 for the 2010 Arkle, he is without question one of our favourite horses.
For that reason, we would be happy enough with his beating of Big Zeb today but we also have another ulterior motive for delight at […]

Follow up to Crus

Grands Crus got our Cheltenham Festival ante-post portfolio off to a fine start yesterday and the 12/1 (non-runner, no bet) looks appetising as he’s now 3/1 for the World Hurdle.
We’re following a similar strategy today with another account bet.

Big day for Mullins

It’s a key day for the Willie Mullins team at Leopardstown with serious Festival contenders Hurricane Fly and Flat Out hopefully advertising their claims for the annual Cheltenham spectacular.
However, while we’re not having an account bet, it’s another Mullins inmate that catches our eye for an interest bet and that’s Ballyhaunis in the 3.20 contest.

Captain’s Naas target

Captain Cee Bee may have let us down as he fell at Leopardstown over Christmas, when tipped on our sister site Bet On Horses, but we remain big fans of the promising chaser.

Arkle contenders on target

Two leading contenders for the Arkle Chase enhanced their claims over the weekend - both Kalahari King and Imsingingtheblues remain totally in the mix after their efforts.
The latter was another lucrative winner for the Paul Nicholls’ yard when scoring in the Williamhill.com Handicap Chase and will now be kept at home until the Festival. 
Ferdy Murphy was less […]

Planet sounded out for Arkle

We’re keeping our powder dry just for now in the ante-post markets for the Cheltenham Festival but the hugely influential Tom Segal of Pricewise fame is getting stuck in and his latest punt is Planet of Sound for the Arkle.
There was plenty of 16/1 available for Philip Hobbs’ charge before Segal’s column but only Coral remain […]
