One of four 13 year olds in the 18-runner field, Wishing And Hoping was always at the head of affairs under regular partner Alex…

The lightly-raced eight-year-old has won three of his nine starts over fences and triumphed in six of 17 races under rules, with three runner-up efforts to his name. The consistent Yeats gelding won at Cheltenham in October, before chasing home previous King George VI Chase winner Frodon in the Badger Beer Handicap Chase at Wincanton. His last run…

It's a typically busy Boxing Day on Sky Sports Racing with Wolverhampton hosting a quality all-weather card, while there is top jumping from Fontwell and Newcastle. Art Power is the standout name among seven declarations for the Top Odds Every Day With BetUK Conditions Stakes (3.00). Disappointing when well beaten at Newcastle earlier this month,…

If one Mullins doesn't get you, then another just may. It's perhaps no surprise that bookmakers are taking no chances with runners trained by Willie Mullins and his nephew, Emmet, when it comes to Sunday's Unibet Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham. The pair are responsible for the front two in the ante-post betting in Dads Lad (Willie) and Thousand…

He won his first Elite Hurdle off a mark of 149 when it was a…

The chill is in the air again and the core jumps season is poised to return. For me, Chepstow's two-day fixture is the point in the calendar when the shackles of pre-season buzz and anticipation for the new campaign can be released. It is back and the cards on Friday and Saturday certainly do not disappoint. I unashamedly favour jumps over the…

Betfair Super Saturday is looming and let's hope a number of British-trained horses can produce top-notch performances as a riposte to a number of dazzling displays by Irish runners at last weekend's Dublin Racing Festival.
