  • LOTHARIO AND COSSACK LOOK PICK OF IVORY SEXTET

    DEAN runs six today (two at Lingfield and four at Kempton) and Lothario and Red Cossack look to be the pick of the sextet.

  • WELL HANDICAPPED TANGRAMM NEEDS TO BOUNCE BACK

    TANGRAMM is undoubtedly well handicapped as he bids to get back to winning ways in the 1m 1 1/2furlong handicap at Wolverhampton this evening (6pm) but he needs to improve on recent outings if he’s going to trouble the judge. A nine-times winner on the all-weather, including three over today’s course and distance, he has… Read more »

  • MAGIC LOOKS PICK OF IVORY DUO

    DEAN sets a poser today with Dark Magic and Soaring Spirits both contesting the 2.25 at Lingfield, a 12-runner 7f handicap but the former would appear to be the “number one” at least according to the betting. “Magic” is 4/1 favourite while “Spirits” is on the drift and an outsider at 22/1.  Rob Hornby rides… Read more »

  • SWISS CHIME BACK TO SOUTHWELL

    SWISS CHIME, who won at Southwell on New Year’s Day, heads back to the fibresand to try and recapture winning ways when lining up for the 6.30, a five-runner handicap over 5f.

  • LOTHARIO WINS COMFORTABLY AT KEMPTON

    LOTHARIO has always been a talented horse but has had his issues.  However, tonight he showed his ability in true fashion when running out a smooth winner at Kempton by one and three quarter lengths in a mile handicap under Martin Dwyer. This was his first win in just the five-year-old’s ninth race as he had has had his problems and wasn’t able… Read more »

    LOTHARIO has come in for solid support in the mile handicap at Kempton this evening (7.45pm) and is now a general 4/1 shot from 11/2.

  • BADENSCOTH WINS AT WOLVES TO BREAK DROUGHT

    BADENSCOTH won at Wolverhampton tonight and it was a welcome winner for the yard after an unusually dry spell with no success in the last 47 days. The five-year-old son of Foxwedge was stepping up in trip to one mile, one and a half furlongs for the first time and he clearly relished the extra… Read more »

  • KADRIZZI STRONG ON FORM, WEAK IN THE MARKET

    KADRIZZI is one of two stable runners today at Wolverhampton when lining up for the apprentice handicap over 7f and although he has strong from claims, he is incredibly weak in the market. The chestnut is not the force of old and has plummeted down the handicap in the last two years.  However, his recent… Read more »

  • WIDE DRAWN MAGIC DRIFTING LIKE A BARGE

    DARK MAGIC, an unlucky loser last time out at Lingfield when meeting trouble in running, should run well at Kempton tonight (8pm) over the same 6f trip but the wide drawn son of Invincible Spirit is very weak in the market at 13/2. Nine go to post for the 4yo+ handicap and despite Adam Kirby having been… Read more »
