    ARTSCAPE made it two wins from just six career races when beating Curious Fox by a head yesterday at Goodwood in a 6f handicap under James Doyle.

    DEAN IVORY runs two today, Forever Yours at Wolverhampton in the 2.50 and Treble Strike at Kempton in the 8.25 and the former looks to have a good each-way chance.

    HELLO GIRL belied her 50/1 starting price last week when beaten just 2 1/2 lengths on her debut at Kempton in a 6f novice and today at 7.20pm, she could go close over course and distance. A daughter of Bated Breath, she is bound to improve and has a great each-way chance at 4/1 of… Read more »

  • I’M RUNNING LATE TIMES RUN TO PERFECTION

    I’M RUNNING LATE ran true to his name with a perfectly executed run in the final furlong at Lingfield to give Dean Ivory a welcome victory after some near misses recently.
