A1 Medical & General Ltd Handicap Chase Doncaster

Our Jasper Doncaster 4:15 is today’s selection. It appears Randwick Roar is the one to beat and Our Jasper could be the one to do it. Comprehensively beaten last month at Wincanton, but back to a class three today. Not to be ruled out.

Frost Boys Beginners’ Chase Leicester

Nikola Leicester 2:20 is today’s bet: It appears to be a choice between Nikola and Fandani both good bets, but I’m coming down on the side of Nikola as he is more at home as a chaser.

Allied Irish Bank Private Banking Novice Hurdle Sandown

Hell’s Bay Sandown 2:55. Bit iffy last time out at Newbury and one paced, but if he is back on form should have little trouble today.

Betchronicle Mares Only Maiden Hurdle Huntingdon

Senora Snoopy Huntington 1:50 is the bet of the day.She has been placed in her last five runs and has be in with a shout today, though Fretwork could be a threat.

Knight Frank Novices Chase Taunton

Space Cowboy Taunton 3:20 is todays Nap. Made a big mistake last time out at Ascot, but has still to be fancied today and worth giving a second chance.

The run up to the Cheltenham festival - one4racing patent

A fantastic days racing ahead of us today, with the 2008 Cheltnham festival just around the corner a number of runners today will be looking to stake their claims. Todays best bet is Witchita Lineman (Haydock 1:05) who if he is to really make his mark in the World Hurdle at Cheltenham must surely win this today. The one4racing patent is made up of Joe Lively (Ascot 1:15) and Song of Songs (Wincanton 1:30) - Hopefully a profitable 30 minutes racing! Good luck all.

Bet365 Novices’ Chase Chepstow - Thursday 14th February

Michael Muck Chepstow 2:20 is today’s selection. Messed up big time last trip at Lingfield, but could have had an off day, still worth the benefit of the doubt and could do well.

Saturday Patent - Denman staking his claims for the Gold Cup

If Denman (2:45, Newbury) is to have any chance in the Cheltenham Gold Cup they he must surely win here today? As a result he wins the honour of being todays NAP. It’s fair to say last weeks patent was pretty disappointing. This week we are much more confident and the one4racing patent consists of (all running at Newbury):

  1. 1:35 Here’s Johnny
  2. 2:45 Denman
  3. 3:20 Kings Quay (e/w)
