American Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday 23 November by Timeform

I can't ever remember the Cheltenham Festival Novice Chase division being this open. Usually at least one of these races would be considered as a done deal, but this definitely isn't the case in 2024. Of course, we all love when we can look forward to an absolute superstar, but there is something very exciting when festival races are this…

Matt Brocklebank: Bravemansgame has enough in hand over Protektorat in pure class terms to suggest he can win the Betfair Chase without much fuss and while Haydock is something of a specialist venue and the Skelton horse bolted up in this last year, you've got to remember that the odds-on A Plus Tard was pulled-up that day and he ended up having…

A really interesting day of racing on the channel on Saturday, and hopefully these four in competitive handicaps at Newmarket and Ascot might make it a profitable one for me. Best of luck! Jack Channon is finishing the season well and Tiriac looks a sprinter certain to run well in this contest. The three-year-old is a little better off with the two…

Ascot's Champions Day is an event packed full of races of the highest quality, so much so that it's hard to single out one as the best, but the pick of the bunch may just be the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, which will take place at 15:05 on Saturday afternoon. A Group 1 run over the straight miles, this race has been won by some of the best milers of…

Blank Gameweek 32 is going to be a very popular week for Fantasy Premier League managers to use their free hit chip. Although only four teams are blanking - Manchester United, Chelsea, Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester City - a lot of the highly owned and in-form players represent these sides. It makes total sense, therefore, for many managers…

Timeform pick out the best bet at three different tracks on Friday. Saint Marco has yet to win on dirt but has run creditably on the surface, including last time, and holds better claims than most. Give It A Go is a player if putting best foot forward and can give a good account. Manklin Creek merits respect as well on back of last effort. Foxy…
