The Chester Cup (15:05), run over a race distance of 2m2f, is one of the most valuable flat racing handicaps of the season and this year's winner is set to scoop a massive £86,632. As such, it's an ultra competitive race and an early season target for many of the long distance specialists.

Tomorrow's Racing - 04/04/2025 - Aintree Festival Day Two

3 Apr, 2025

Day Two of the 2025 Aintree Festival is headlined by Jonbon (8/15) who takes on a depleted field in the Melling Chase (15:30). It's a redemption mission for Jonbon after his disappointing showing at Cheltenham when a beaten favourite in the Champion Chase. After a farcical start he was always on the back-foot until a shuddering error on the final circuit ended all hope of him tasting Cheltenham Festival glory for the first time. Aintree seems to suit Jonbon much better, he's a perfect 3 from 3 at the Course which includes a win in this race last year. Trainer...

Tomorrow's Racing - 03/04/2025 - Aintree Festival Day One

2 Apr, 2025

The curtain raiser of the 2025 Aintree Festival is the EBC Group Novices' Chase (13:45),and Jango Baie (5/2) for the Nicky Henderson and Nico de Boinville combination is the current market leader. Jango Baie claimed victory with a last-gasp victory at the Cheltenham Festival in the Grade 1 Arkle Chase run over 2 miles. He steps up to 2m 4f for this Aintree contest which is sure to suit on his favoured good ground. The Irish pair of Croke Park (3/1) and Impaire Et Passe (10/3) both skipped Cheltenham so arrive fresh and ready to pose significant threats. Croke Park...

Tomorrow's Racing - 29/03/2025 - William Hill Lincoln

28 Mar, 2025

After a largely disastrous Cheltenham Festival for punters, with a handful of so-called "bankers" falling foul of the Cheltenham obstacles, I think it's safe to say that some decent flat racing will be welcomed by many. Whilst still having one eye on conclusions to the jumps season at Aintree and Punchestown, tomorrow brings us the grand opening of the British flat season at Doncaster. There are 8 races on tomorrow's card, with one of the first feature handicap races of the season, The Lincoln, kicking off at 15:35. At the moment it's a 22 runner field and as always it...

Today's Racing Results - 12/03/2025 - Cheltenham Fallen Favourites

12 Mar, 2025

After a captivating Day One of the Cheltenham Festival where we saw both Constitution Hill and State Man take crashing falls in the Champion Hurdle, the drama continued on Day Two as more of the high profile favourites suffered shock defeats. Ballyburn was sent off at prohibitive odds of 4/7 in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase but refused to settle in the early stages of the race and never jumped with any fluency. Paul Townend persevered with his mount until being hampered on the back straight, from that point onwards it looked a hopeless task. Ballyburn continued to jump slowly...

The Cheltenham Festival Bankers - Day One

11 Mar, 2025

There are many short-priced favourites at this year's Cheltenham Festival and punters have been putting their best fancies together in their pre-festival accumulators. Let's outline the "four bankers" on Day One. If they were all to win, it would be a disaster for the bookmakers.Kopek Des Bordes (4/5) - Supreme Novices' Hurdle. Won the Grade 1 event at Leopardstown that has historically been a good stepping stone for Cheltenham Festival winners. He was catapulted to the top of the market after trouncing his rivals by 13 lengths with minimal fuss. Although his jumping was better than on hurdling debut, pundits...

The Cheltenham Festival - Champion Chase 2025

7 Mar, 2025

On Day Two of the Cheltenham Festival the nerves of Nicky Henderson will be jangling all afternoon in anticipation of Jonbon (5/6) taking his chance in the Queen Mother Champion Chase. The state of play is that it's essentially Jonbon versus a host of Irish contenders; talented contenders at that. A break-neck gallop from start to finish is assured, with Solness (7/1) likely to be pushing a fast pace from the off.Jonbon has looked bulletproof this year, arguably putting up a lifetime best performance when defeating Energumene (7/1) in the Clarence House Chase at Ascot. The only real chink in...
