Pieros
If I reflect on my journey, I realize that horse racing gambling has been a lifelong passion for me. It all began when I was merely fourteen years old, though I must admit that success didn't always come easily. Learning the hard way, with the weight of my own money at stake, taught me valuable lessons that I carry with me to this day. However, my life took a significant turn when Betfair entered the scene. This remarkable internet platform opened doors for me, offering an opportunity to study and analyze the fluctuating odds in an entirely new way. I witnessed countless individuals laying horses rated at 12/1 on the course, hoping to make a quick twenty quid, only to face long-term consequences. Sadly, many of those impulsive heroes are no longer with us. After spending several years dedicated to studying and testing this revolutionary betting approach, I made a life-changing decision. I bid farewell to my position as a sales manager and fully embraced a life devoted to horse racing. Since then, I have been joyfully immersed in this extraordinary sport, managing to generate profits while becoming completely addicted to the thrill of making accurate predictions. When I back a winner, I can't help but celebrate loudly, eager to let everyone know that I was spot on. I have developed an aversion to backing short-priced favorites and consciously avoid placing bets on odds-on runners. Although, I must admit that I occasionally succumb to the temptation and back a favorite, only to feel a tinge of guilt or a sense of foolishness when it fails to deliver. Despite my many years of experience, I remain a perpetual learner, constantly seeking to expand my knowledge and refine my strategies. In recent years, I have had the privilege of establishing connections with numerous racing yards, even coming close to owning racehorses. Yet, I have hesitated to take that leap of faith, missing out on some truly remarkable opportunities. My adoration for juveniles and their raw talent fuels my ambition, and I am determined to enter the market as an owner in the near future, driven by a burning desire to be a part of their incredible journeys. Horse racing has been my lifelong passion, and I am grateful for the lessons it has taught me. Every day, I am reminded of the vastness of this sport and the endless opportunities for growth and discovery. As I embark on this exciting path, I invite you to join me, sharing in the joy and anticipation that only horse racing can offer. Together, let us celebrate the triumphs, learn from the losses, and embrace the beauty of this remarkable world.

This is an interesting Listed contest for mares, with several promising types for the future. Fergal O’Brien won this race in 2023 and now runs Gidge, a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Crambo. She made a promising debut at Uttoxeter in March, finishing second behind a more experienced mare. Ridden patiently by Johnny Burke, she took a while to find her rhythm but stayed on strongly inside the final two furlongs, closing all the way to the line. Crambo himself won two bumpers before developing into a high-class hurdler, and although Gidge made a disappointing reappearance at Southwell, drifting in the market as probably carrying a bit of condition, she should come on plenty for that run. At 22/1, she looks worth a small each-way play.

Evan Williams’s yard is hitting top form after a slow start to the season, and Neo King has been a model of consistency throughout 2025, finishing in the frame in all four of his runs. He clearly relishes a trip, shaping as though stamina is his forte and staying on strongly in the closing stages. He just failed to get up in the Devon National at Exeter on testing ground, and again in the Southern National at Fontwell. He is one pound out of the handicap here but effectively carries only 10st 2lb with Ellis Collier taking off a valuable 5lb, which gives him an appealing racing weight for this marathon test on soft ground. He has a solid each-way chance once more with the bookies going four places and surely deserves to get his head back in front.

Disco Davis was disappointing when last seen, and he has been drifting in the market as a result. However, his previous form reads well. He was an unlucky fourth at Uttoxeter in October when short of room just as he was making his challenge in the closing stages. He also produced two good efforts on soft ground last term, winning at Lingfield and finishing second at Wetherby. He now steps up to three miles for the first time, and if he stays the trip he looks very well handicapped off a mark of 114. He also takes a significant drop in class, moving from a 0-145 at Bangor into a 0-120 today. At 8/1, he looks too tempting not to have a small each-way bet.

You Decide was very disappointing when making his reappearance at Ffos Las, having been backed into favouritism. However, he might have needed the run after a break, and he also lost both front shoes, which could have impeded him. A course-and-distance winner, he looks much better if judged on last year’s form, finishing the season on the up. Callum Pritchard claiming 3 lb in an apprentice race catches the eye, and a mark of 99 looks more than fair for this unexposed five-year-old who should come on plenty from his first run of the season. At around 8/1 he looks an each-way contender.

Great Fleet sets a high standard for a maiden, having already achieved an official mark of 126, which puts him well clear of his opposition. He has run well twice here at Kelso and once more at Cheltenham, where he bumped into Conman John but still showed plenty of ability at a decent level. He wasn’t at his best last time on soft ground, but given that he won a bumper on testing conditions last year, I suspect he can handle any going. He should be heavily involved.

The lightly raced Sunray Shadow looks a bit overlooked at around 8/1 for powerful connections. He has done little wrong in just five starts, winning a bumper on debut before landing a Class 3 maiden over this course and distance, despite still showing signs of greenness and wandering in the closing stages. He didn’t quite handle Market Rasen, looking dangerous but tending to jump left, and I’m happy to forgive his poor reappearance at Newbury over an inadequate two-mile trip. That run came exactly a month ago, and I’d expect him to come on plenty for it, with the return to two and a half miles likely to suit much better. The ground is a slight unknown, but at the prices he looks an appealing each-way proposition.

Far from Cheltenham, I do not mind having a bet on Jonbon, especially at these odds. A five-time course-and-distance winner, including the last two editions of this race, he was beaten by today’s favourite in the Celebration Chase last April, arguably under different conditions. He was having his seasonal reappearance when well beaten at Cheltenham on the back of a wind operation, and he could be a very different proposition today. Nicky Henderson applies first-time headgear in the hope it sharpens his focus and helps him jump with more fluency. Overall, his career speaks for itself with 18 wins and 6 seconds from 24 runs. The full brother to Douvan has the class to bounce back, especially at a track that suits him so well. At 100/30, he looks worth a small bet.

Galia Des Liteaux has an excellent opportunity to get back into the frame after a decent seasonal reappearance at Carlisle, where she was never knocked about. She has already proved she can see out a marathon trip and was an excellent eighth in the 2024 Grand National over these very obstacles. Her mark has dropped almost a stone since then, and she has shown she retains plenty of ability, even if she has not set the world alight. This could be another Skelton masterpiece: off a mark of 134 with Tristan Durrell, who has proved an excellent deputy for Harry in the yard, claiming a valuable 3 lb in these conditions. She will handle the ground even with more rain forecast and, at around 6/1, looks to have a solid each-way chance with bookies paying the extra place.

He was poised to challenge Fine Casting, but Harry Bannister dropped the whip. Overall, he has shown a very solid profile since joining Warren Greatrex, with two wins and that second place leaving him still a well-handicapped horse off a mark of 128. James Bowen takes over the ride off a nice weight, and with the yard in red-hot form over the last week, he should be involved.

Champagne Chic slipped under the radar when winning a maiden at Wincanton on heavy ground, beating the well-regarded Ambion View, now rated 123, and subsequent winner Don’t Mind If I Do. There is plenty to like about his chances now that the yard is gradually hitting form after a slow start to the season. I’m happy to forgive his reappearance run, where he was held in a remote position and very few horses managed to get into the race. He has been dropped 3 lb for that effort and is likely to strip fitter today. Carrying only 11 st, he should have a solid each-way chance.

He was one of my few winners in November and I excused Ben Solo’s first run over fences over the minimum trip here at Chepstow when making his seasonal reappearance after a summer break. He really impressed with his jumping, winning with plenty left in the tank. He shaped like a chaser in the making last season and now looks one to follow, having clearly taken to fences. A point winner who ran his best hurdle races on soft ground, today’s conditions at this track should suit him well once again. He does have a 6 lb penalty to shoulder, but he was well on top at the line and is likely to get another uncontested lead over this more suitable distance, which should allow him to save plenty of energy for the finish.

He then ran in a much tougher race at Ascot, where he faced several well-handicapped rivals who have already franked the form. He travelled well for a long way before fading and being eased; he was not knocked about. Nigel Hawke now reaches for a visor for the first time, which should help this son of Camelot, previously rated 70 on the flat for Andrew Balding, to relax, as he has been keen. At around 8/1 he looks a better proposition now back in calmer waters, especially with James Bowen booked for the ride.

There are several interesting runners in the line-up, but they look well found in the market. It is tough to split Hidden History and Champagne Twist on their last Aintree run, although they had a hard battle that day. At around 17/2 I am giving an each-way chance to New Order, the only guaranteed front runner. He is three from six over fences, including a success at this venue last term. He handled soft ground over three miles well at Warwick and Wetherby, and I am happy to forgive his reappearance run at Bangor when he jumped to his right and looked in need of the outing. I suspect he will strip fitter today, and the return to a right-handed course should suit. The yard is going better at the moment, so I can see New Order as an each-way contender.

Several interesting runners line up in what looks a tricky puzzle to solve. At around 16/1, Zainy Champ might be able to bounce back from a couple of disappointing efforts now that the yard is finally showing signs of form. He ran a good second at this venue in a maiden over a similar trip last March before looking a bit flat and being pulled up next time. He does not strike me as a stayer, but he returned from a break at Chepstow last month over 2m4f when the stable was very quiet and shaped as though the run was badly needed. He has slipped a couple of pounds in the weights and, at these juicy odds, could sneak into the frame back in trip with four places on offer.

Not sure what to make of Joyeuse on her first run over fences. She was probably in need of the outing, but she did not look the most natural jumper. Even so, she could take a step forward today, and she is well treated at the weights as the highest-rated runner carrying less than her male rivals. I am not in a rush to back her at odds-on, and instead I will give a chance to the consistent Brentford Hope, who made a solid debut in a hot race at Cheltenham. Held up, he made smooth headway late on and finished a very respectable fourth. He has always shown a good engine on the flat on ground with some cut and has done well over hurdles for Harry Derham. At 6/1 he looks worth a bet in this small field.

This looks a highly competitive handicap on paper, with solid claims to be made for many of these runners. Thistle Be The One caught the eye throughout his novice campaign last season, with the form boosted recently by Alexei and French Ship. His reappearance at Ascot a month ago was perfectly respectable, and he shaped as though the run was needed in what looked a stronger race than this. He drops back in trip here, has first-time headgear applied, and the return of Gavin Sheehan is a major positive. At around 11/2 he looks an each-way player.

This looks a very modest contest, with the market leaders having questions to answer. I am wondering whether Hawk Stone could be competitive back from a break in first-time headgear. He had a decent 2024, including an easy win at Uttoxeter when making all on heavy ground, and a close second at Chepstow under similar conditions. He is now well handicapped again, arriving here 3 lb below his last winning mark, and if he can rediscover his old form he could go close. With bookies paying three places despite only seven runners, I will take the each-way insurance at around 6/1.

It’s a tough race for Benmore to have his chase debut, which came after a long break one month ago at Carlisle. The winner is one of the best-handicapped horses around, and the second went close next time out, beaten only by a nose at Newcastle, with the front two miles clear of the rest. He will therefore appreciate the drop from a 0??"130 into a 0??"110, back over the minimum trip. He was successful on his last run over hurdles last term, scoring over this distance at Hexham; the cheekpieces were on for the first time that day, and they are back again today. Laura Morgan does really well with her novice chasers in handicaps, and Benmore has been very lightly raced, so he remains open to further improvement.

She has not beaten much in her last two wins, but she went clear on the run-in at Plumpton, suggesting she is still on a good mark and can complete the hat-trick today.

To his credit, he rallied strongly and finished well to grab third, beaten nine lengths. That was a promising comeback over 2m4f, and the step back up in trip today should suit. He also has some strong form in the book, including a close second to Major Fortune, who is now forty pounds higher in the weights, so he is clearly a talented horse on his day. At around 3/1, he looks worth a small bet.

He has produced two good runs in competitive handicaps at Cheltenham and Navan this term and now has an excellent chance to get off the mark in this small field for older horses. Keith Donoghue taking over the ride is another plus.

With three places on offer and only seven runners, I’m happy to give an each-way chance to American Snipe at double-figure odds. He is not the most consistent, but he has been contesting far more competitive handicaps around the country, including at major meetings at Cheltenham and Newbury. His handicap mark has now dropped back to his last winning rating, and the booking of Rian Corcoran, who claims 10 lb and has shown plenty of ability in the saddle with a current 40 percent strike rate, looks an added bonus. The yard is in good form and this is their only runner on the card today. If he can rediscover something close to his old form, Pipe's charge should be competitive at this level off an attractive weight.

At around 15/2, Stede Bonnet is my each-way alternative for the successful Elliott and Bowen partnership. He showed plenty of promise in three bumpers, suffering a narrow defeat on debut before winning his next two starts. The form is not easy to weigh up, and his hurdle debut was not remarkable. He is related to several winners and, although he will want further in time, the heavy ground could bring stamina into play.

It was also his first attempt at 2m4f, and having been outpaced he stayed on again in the closing stages, suggesting he handled the new trip well. Representing an in-form yard that enjoys success here at Plumpton, Chris Gordon’s charge should be heavily involved if reproducing a similar effort today.

His best runs have come at right-handed tracks, so I suspect Carlisle will suit him well. In what looks an easier race than he is used to tackling, he has a very good each-way chance again.

Gordon Elliott has won this race twice in the last four years and is strongly represented again in this year’s renewal. Beaufort Scale was a bit of an eye-catcher at Cheltenham in October and makes plenty of each-way appeal. Held up in the rear, he came from another postcode to finish a never-nearer second, staying on strongly up the hill over 3m1f. A similar impression came two weeks ago in a Grade 3 at Navan over 3 miles, when he only started to hit top gear too late. That suggests today’s marathon trip could be exactly what he wants, with the potential for even more improvement now tackling a proper stamina test. Danny Gilligan takes over from two amateur riders and he runs off the same mark, so if he confirms those positive signs over this new distance, Beaufort Scale should be right in the mix.

He returned better than ever this term, finishing second in a Grade 3 at Listowel before landing a valuable large-field handicap at Cheltenham, winning going away with plenty left in the tank. The handicapper has given him a 6 lb rise, but that could still keep him very competitive. He’s ground versatile and also has solid form from his novice campaign, including a third at Grade 1 level.

He has now won his last five contests, a mix of Flat and jumps, and the form looks solid after beating Hamlet's Night last time out at Cheltenham. The latter went on to give a race to Rubaud, officially rated 149, so he is probably one on the up. Gary and Josh Moore’s charge is rated 90 on the Flat, seems to handle any ground, and could get an uncontested lead, which is a big plus here at Newbury. If he can put it all together, I can see him running another good race.

The drop in class and distance should play to his strengths. He enjoys this ground and is probably well handicapped for fences, so he is worth a go at around 3/1.

King's Threshold won three on the bounce last season, including a valuable handicap over this course and distance. After rising 23 lb and tackling more than three and a half miles against seasoned handicappers in the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown, he found things tough and was eventually pulled up. My impression is that he did not stay that far at a stiff track, and it came at the end of a long campaign. He made his reappearance in a valuable Cheltenham handicap and was still going well when badly hampered by a faller that stopped his momentum. I like the jockey booking, with Gavin Sheehan taking over on this hold-up horse. He has a profile that is still on the upgrade, and if the ground does not get too testing he can play a part at a decent each-way price of 16/1.

The six-year-old pressed for the lead throughout, using plenty of energy but jumping notably well for a novice rated only 110. Today there appears to be no obvious other front-runner in the line-up, so he could get an easy lead and be hard to peg back. The drop in class should help, and the yard is in top form. The impression is that Grand Geste has improved plenty for a fence and should be capable of defying the 2 lb penalty, especially with that first run of the season under his belt.

He makes plenty of appeal after a very promising return over hurdles at Kelso when chasing home two subsequent winners, Magnolia and Heart Above. Forecast rain is not a concern, as he won on heavy ground at Hexham last year. A mark of 105 looks workable in relation to his Flat rating, and Conner McCann claims a handy 6 lb in these conditions. Lucinda Russell tries this new trip for the first time, and if he stays it well, he should be a major player at around 15/2 with bookies going 4 places.

It is disappointing to see the very promising Kientzheim now running at such a modest level. She looked an exciting prospect when winning on debut in France by 8 lengths before being sold to JP McManus for a sizeable sum. She was impressive again on her British debut on Boxing Day for Nicky Henderson but was never quite able to reproduce that effort and eventually moved to Ben Haslam, a trainer capable of revitalising similar profiles for powerful connections. Her stable debut looked very much a needed run, travelling well for a long way on her seasonal reappearance before tiring late. She has been dropped another 3 lb, and if she comes on for the outing she could be a gift at 16/1 for an each-way bet, especially with bookmakers paying three places in a seven-runner field.

Famoso has dropped another three pounds and now looks a well-handicapped horse in what is a modest, small-field event. He has had three runs since the start of the new season and has shown gradual improvement. Last time out at Hereford, he was in the process of running a good race before a bad mistake halted his momentum, after which he wasn’t knocked about. Assuming he puts in a cleaner round of jumping, Matt Sheppard’s gelding should be well suited by today’s conditions. He enjoys going right-handed, handles good ground, and stays further than this trip, all of which point to him having a solid each-way chance at around 6/1.

Evan Williams has had three winners in the last three days, suggesting his horses are coming into form after a slow start to the season. He runs Boyles Hill, who enjoyed a solid campaign over hurdles last term, winning three times and placing twice before finishing his season with a tilt at a big handicap at Punchestown ??" a step up that ultimately proved too much. He probably prefers testing conditions but did win on good ground at Market Rasen, and today’s extra distance should give him the stiffer stamina test he needs. Usually ridden prominently, he was given an educational ride on his chase debut and seasonal reappearance at Chepstow and was never really put into the race over an inadequate two-mile trip. The drop back into Class 4 company, combined with that experience under his belt, should help. At 18/1 he looks worth a go in the each-way market.

Ridin Solo made his chase debut on his seasonal reappearance at Bangor in what looked a pretty competitive 0??"120 handicap. Despite being hampered four out, he kept going and finished a creditable third of 11. Still lightly raced for his age and highly tried over hurdles, he has dropped another pound at the weights, and Charlie Maggs claims a valuable 3 lb in this amateur contest. I can see him having a better future over fences, and with the yard back in the winner’s enclosure in the last two days, I’m having a go in the win market at around 11/2.

Aire Spray lost his way in the jumping department towards the end of last season, still looking a bit immature, but he had shown plenty of promise earlier when winning at Carlisle and again over this course and distance on soft ground, displaying a willing attitude on both occasions. Well related to Commander Of Fleet, a Coral Cup and Grade 1 winner as a novice, he made a pleasing reappearance over an inadequate trip and should come on plenty for that run, especially with the yard in top form. At around 11/2, he looks worth an each-way go with bookies going 4 places.

Lihyan was a bit of an eye-catcher when third to Haiti Couleurs at Newbury, short of room at various stages of the race, and looks poised to make amends in what appears an easier contest on paper. An excellent third at Aintree on his seasonal reappearance, he is knocking on the door and should benefit from returning to a right-handed track where he has won before. With a double at Sedgefield, Rebecca Menzies’s runners might be starting to hit top form, and with William Maggs claiming a valuable 5lb, he should have a decent chance of being involved at around 7/2.

Interesting runner for Richard Phillips is the unexposed Little Big Kev, a runner-up in a point-to-point who has shown some promise in a bumper at Huntingdon and subsequently over hurdles, tried over several distances. He was heavily backed when making his handicap debut over 3 miles at Uttoxeter and travelled like the best horse in the race before tiring in the closing stages. He makes his reappearance after a break and, off a mark of 95, should find a race to win. He drops in distance today, which should help, and he is worth an each-way bet at around 8/1.

It’s Maisy was heavily backed when making her seasonal return two weeks ago at Newcastle and, having led for a long way, she just tired in the closing stages. Generally competitive over hurdles, she now drops from a 0??"120 into a 0??"105 contest and should strip fitter for that reappearance run. The Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith yard is absolutely flying at the moment, so there is plenty to like about their mare at around 6/1. She looks an each-way contender with bookies going 4 places.

Quaviste was very impressive when winning a bumper on debut at Huntingdon and looks worth another go after failing to play a part in his two subsequent runs. Perhaps the ground was too quick in the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree, where he pulled too hard in the early stages. Backed into favouritism on his seasonal reappearance and hurdle debut a month ago at Stratford, he made some headway and jumped well before tiring in the closing stages. Given his pedigree and connections, I strongly suspect he is much better than he has shown so far and can improve with that experience under his belt. Back at a right-handed track where the Skeltons have a strong strike rate, he looks worth a go at 3/1.
