Hi all,
Kempton Hosts a good all-weather card this evening with the Listed Hyde Stakes and the Unibet London Stayers Series (Final) Handicap being the highlights.
Haydock saves its best until last. The Veterans Series Handicap Chase may have only attracted six runners, but they’re all old favourites.
For a Wednesday the action is decent, and I will start with the Veterans Handicap Chase.

Guess what? We lost Newcastle’s Fighting Fifth card to the freezing weather.
More frost is on the horizon this Friday night. They’ve got those frost sheets down Newbury but if the temperatures do dip below -3°C, we might have to kiss the races goodbye.

We’ve got Grade 1 excitement on both sides of the Irish Sea this Saturday afternoon. Over at Haydock, it’s the Betfair Chase, which gets underway at 3:00.
Meanwhile, at Punchestown, the Unibet Morgiana Hurdle features the seasonal return of Champion Hurdle runner-up State Man. In a classic Willie Mullins vs. Gordon Elliott showdown, it’s tough to see him being beaten, even though some of the Willie Mullins runners have been needing their seasonal returns.
Inside today’s preview I’m focusing on the races being covered live from Haydock and Ascot on ITV. My selections and betting advice can be found at the end of the main piece.

We’re kicking off the first of two days of racing at Ascot, featuring a seven-race card packed with handicaps. However, the total of fifty-four declared runners across the seven races seems a bit thin, considering the decent prize money up for grabs at the Berkshire track.
Inside Friday’s preview, I delve into the highlights of the Ascot card.
