Renowned Horse Racing Tipster and Journalist Ed Quigley, aka'Longshot Ted' offers up his best bets for Saturday's ITV action, and picks out some of the other horses who have made him sit up and take note, on what should be a cracking weekend of sport. Saturday Advice: BLOOD DESTINY, Fairyhouse 12.27, win Evens - William Hill PAINT THE DREAM,…

We start this weekend's action at Kempton, and I think Chris Honour's Tile Tapper will be able to make amends for his 2 over this course and distance over Christmas. Although a 9yo now, Tile Tapper is still very lightly raced - and he's only had 5 career starts over fences. Following a useful Novice Hurdle campaign he was certainly a slow burner…

Ground conditions at both Warwick and Kempton Park are likely to decide the winners of the two big weekend handicaps tomorrow. A month ago, clerks of the course and groundsmen up and down the country feared it might never rain again. Now it seems to pour almost every day and, as a result, it is essential to back horses that revel in the mud. The…

Not sighted since winning the two-runner Grade 2 Jacquart Noel Novices' Chase at Ascot on December 202019, the grey Angels Breath makes his long-awaited return to action in Kempton's Coral Silviniaco Conti Chase on Saturday. Still owned by'Walters Plant Hire & Ronnie Bartlett' but under a new trainer having been switched from Nicky Henderson to Sam…

Cobblers Dream: seeking to be the first back-to-back winner of the Lanzarote Cobblers Dream will bid to become the first dual winner of the Coral Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle as he takes on 19 rivals at Kempton on Saturday. The Charles Byrnes-trained Green Glory and Persian War runner-up Outlaw Peter head the market at 5-1 but Ben Case hopes Cobblers…

Newcastle's Flat card features a conditions race over a mile and a quarter with some smart older performers entered up. They include the John & Thady Gosden pair Harrovian and Forest of Dean who finished third and fifth respectively in a listed race at Lingfield in November which has thrown up some winners since. This looks a bit less competitive,…

Picking up from my last column to cover the remainder of the holiday program (December 28 to January 1) in what was the busiest post-Boxing Day period for some time, the narrative seemed to me more of the same - some horses enhanced their reputations, a bigger number diminished theirs, and a standout performance to breathe new life into some…

Dan Sheridan/INPHOCould State Man give Constitution Hill a race at Cheltenham? # The Challenger Champion Hurdle still a live event with State Man set to give Constitution Hill a crack Johnny Ward reports from another Willie Mullins-dominated final day at Leopardstown. WE HAVE SEEN this week that Willie Mullins saddling the first three home in a…

State Man continued his march towards a likely clash with Constitution Hill at the Cheltenham Festival in March with a comprehensive victory in the Matheson Hurdle at Leopardstown. Nicky Henderson's Constitution Hill is long odds-on to lift the Champion Hurdle crown in March following his latest demolition job in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton on…

Shewearsitwell provided Willie Mullins with a sixth victory in the last seven runnings of the BeattheBank.ie Irish EBF Mares Hurdle at Leopardstown. Two subsequent Cheltenham Festival heroines in Let's Dance and Concertista are among the champion trainer's recent winners of the Grade Three contest and Shewearsitwell was actually sent off favourite…

Leopardstown is once more the mainstay for the ITV Racing team on Thursday, with another brace of Grade 1 races from the Foxrock track on the final afternoon of its Christmas Festival. The Neville Hotels Novices Chase (1.45pm) and the Matheson Hurdle (2.20pm) are the features from Leopardstown, with ITV showing four races from Ireland alongside two…
