The second day of the Craven meeting sees a step up in quality on that of day 1, including three Class 1 contests. Godolphin got off to a flyer on the opening day and will be hoping for similar successes on day 2, but there are going to be plenty looking to spoil the party. […]

Racing is back at HQ with the start of a new flat season at Newmarket’s Rowley Mile course – and with it I’d like to introduce a new series to the site: The Newmarket Notebook. My aim is to produce a preview for each raceday throughout the year, focusing on key trends and data analysis

Introduction The Grand National is one of the most iconic and unpredictable races in world horse racing, held annually at Aintree Racecourse. Run over an extended distance of around 4 miles and featuring 30 fences, it is the ultimate test of stamina, jumping ability and resilience like no other race. Kown for the large, competitive

PARLIAMO – 14:45 Bangor-on-Dee – 6/1* EW 3pl This is an interesting one, handicap debut here and also the furthest trip he will have faced in his career so far. That being said he was 13 lengths behind two rapid improvers last time out when 4th of 7 at 10/1, and as a result may

The main aim of my ‘Horses to Watch’ series is beating the market start price (SP) by finding value in the betting market the night before the race. I use a combination of statistical analysis and AI value-modelling to find a horses’ implied probability (% chance of winning the race based on stats) and compare

COLOANA – 18:30 Wolverhampton – 10/1* EW 3pl Just the one win to her name on the all-weather from 20 starts so far, but that did come just last Autumn when she went on a run of finishing in the top three in four out of five consecutive starts, including that sole career success at

GLENGOLLY – 14:15 Huntingdon – 6/1* EW 4pl Just the one career success to his name so far but that was only back in December and he has since finished 2nd in two of his last three starts, so the form would appear to me just fine. Despite the steady climb in the weights as

LIGHT FANDANGO – 15:22 Doncaster – 8/1* EW 3pl Won over course and distance in his last race here back in December, and is now 4lbs higher than that effort but with Bradley Harris on board claiming 3lbs this may not be enough to deny him going back to back around here. Only 8 races

AMI BONDHU – 15:45 Plumpton – 15/2* EW 3pl Last time out was over course and distance here and finished a respectable third, which is impressive considering it was his first time over such a distance. 1lb lower than that effort two weeks ago, so a repeat performance this time around and he should be

SAGE GREEN – 15:35 Warwick – 8/1* EW 4pl Decent first appearance of the year when 2nd of 10 at Kempton when 14/1, though was some 12 lengths behind the eventual winner. First run since wind surgery and first time application of a tongue strap seem to have made a positive difference. His sole career
