Alex Hammond blog: Awesome Alpinista claims Arc glory and jumping action returns at Chepstow

Alex Hammond blogs about the Arc and the Jumps Season Opener at Chepstow. She is off to Cheppstowe for the two-day Jumper's Championship. Alpinista won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe for Sir Mark Prescott. Nostrum will be popular at Darley Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket this weekend.  The unseasonably dry weather has resulted in some small fields. There are a few decent betting opportunities over the weekend, including the £75,000 Wasdell Group Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle. Zabeel Champion is the feature on Saturday.

Banker horse racing tips from Sporting Life and Timeform team for Saturday March 4

Calico made a bit of a name for himself in front of the ITV cameras three weeks ago when giving Jonbon a scare at Warwick, but there's a good chance that flatters him somewhat and the early markets have him too short for the 1.30 at Doncaster. Making far more appeal in that race is PAY THE PIPER who made into a useful novice chaser last winter and…

Nick Luck's William Hill blog: A Big Welsh National fancy

SAMUEL SPADE could offer some significant reward in the opening juvenile on the second day of Kempton's TV Christmas bonanza (12.45pm) at 14/1. There are arguably more credentialed ex-Flat racers in here plus a few from big stables sure to make the market. But the selection was pretty unexposed on the level, and was probably the quickest of these.…

Europe's greatest Flat race has existed for over a century, but seldom has the contest been as laden with uncertainty and the result this year is as predictable as the value of sterling on…
