20 December 2025

Potters Charm

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@10.00

Win

Potters Charm was one of the best novice hurdlers last season and could be the new kid on the block in an open stayers' division. He was 5th in the Turners at Cheltenham, and that race used to be a good pointer to stayers' hurdle types.

The Walk

Daily Racing

25 EW

@9.00

Lose

-50

The Walk was a very nice winner on his first appearance at this track in November. He quickened up under hands and heels to beat some nice-looking horses. He is very well related, and Deep Run is not too far back in the pedigree, which I always like to see, as it often influences a horse's ability. His trainer, Joe Tizzard, wouldn't normally have his horses fully primed first time out, so significant improvement can be expected.

13:15 1:15 Ascot

Dig Deep

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@6.00

Lose

-50

Dig Deep's form reads very well, especially his close second behind the progressive Starzand. His trainer, Ben Pauling, has hit a rich vein of form in the last couple of weeks, and this promising young horse can go well.

16 December 2025

Joeybottles

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@6.00

Lose

-50

Joeybottles has now drifted out to a decent price. On his only run to date he travelled very nicely when third to the highly promising Wilstar at Perth at the end of last season, before experience caught him out near the finish. With improvement to come, he can give the hot favourite a race.

15 December 2025

Secret Des Lune

Daily Racing

25 EW

@51.00

Win

225

Secret Des Lune looks interesting on pedigree, being by Maxios and out of an Old Vic mare. She could be worth a small interest at a big price. Her trainer has been going well this season and is capable of producing winners in bumpers.

@23.00

Void

The bookies seem to have got the price wrong for Lennons Grove in this fairly competitive-looking bumper. She has plenty of experience and solid form, including a 2-length second in an Irish point-to-point behind a horse that was acquired by the Skeltons and ran a blinder in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham in November. Her trainer, Gavin Cromwell, is showing clear signs of coming back into form.

14:20 2:20 Naas

Bambino Fever

Daily Racing

100 WINNAP

@1.36

Lose

-100

Bambino Fever was the top bumper horse from last season and should be able to win this on her re-appearance before going on to better races. She was brilliant in all her races last season and has a pedigree to suggest she could be just as good over hurdles.

14 December 2025

14:25 2:25 Navan

Binge Worthy

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@7.50

Win

Binge Worthy has always promised more than he has achieved, but he has dropped to an attractive handicap mark. He ran a nice opening race of the season with a claimer aboard, and Jack Kennedy now takes the reins. His trainer, Gordon Elliott, continues in fantastic form.

Vincenzo ran a blinder in the Paddy Power Gold Cup last month when finishing 2nd to the subsequent winner of the Coral Gold Cup. He made a mistake at a crucial time in that race, and if he can jump a bit cleaner, he could lead all the way this time. His trainer, Sam Thomas, continues in fine form.

Macshadow Des Crai

Daily Racing

25 EW

@8.50

Lose

-50

I very rarely bet in these three-year-old hurdle races, but when Nicky Henderson has a runner at nearly 8/1 it needs close inspection. Macshadow Des Crai has a cracking jumps pedigree for this type of race. These horses are usually flat-bred types that often don't stay two miles. He has come from the French provincial meetings with okay form, but Henderson can improve these youngsters markedly, especially with their jumping.

12 December 2025

12:40 12:40 Cheltenham

Califet En Vol

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@2.38

Lose

-50

This is a cracking little novice chase and Califet En Vol has always looked like a chaser in the making. He really caught the eye at Newbury last season when he gave The New Lion a fright, only going down by 3 lengths. His trainer, Nicky Henderson, usually has his best novices well schooled and fit for their first run over fences. He won this race last year with the very progressive Jango Baie.

11 December 2025

15:30 3:25 Warwick

Cheap Sandwiches

Daily Racing

25 EWNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@8.00

Win

Cheap Sandwiches has already shown ability in an Irish point-to-point when third. He wasn't far behind the useful Dig Deep, who is now with Ben Pauling. He has a nice pedigree and is with a trainer who has a good strike rate in bumpers.

13:58 1:55 Warwick

Diva Luna

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@1.33

Win

My favourite horse Diva Luna can hopefully continue her rise up the novice chasing rankings. She is up against two classy opponents, but if she reproduces her first run over fences, she can win this.

07 December 2025

Lune Brillante

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@4.50

Lose

-50

I'm getting a bit demoralised with held-up, fast-finishing, not-quite-getting-there Skelton horses, but hopefully Lune Brillante can produce the goods in this listed bumper. The fact that she has had a run and the race is worth a few bob for a bumper makes me assume Skelton will be trying to actually win this one. She has a great pedigree and they won this race with a similar type last season.

06 December 2025

15:21 3:21 Chepstow

Presley

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

Presley is very well related and comes from a family that includes many useful stayers, including Gold Cup winner Long Run. He is by Harzand, who is producing some very nice young horses. This galloping track should suit him based on his pedigree.

14:40 2:40 Aintree

White Rhino

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@9.50

Lose

-50

White Rhino was running in the Grade 1 Feltham Novices' Chase last Christmas and has always had a fair bit of class. He ran over these Grand National fences first time out but was always at the back after being hampered early on by a faller. That should have set him up nicely for this, and the extra distance will be a plus.

12:10 12:10 Sandown

Sober Glory

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@1.67

Lose

-50

Sober Glory goes from strength to strength and can continue his unbeaten winning sequence. He was very impressive in his first run over hurdles, beating a very good Dan Skelton horse by 12 lengths.

05 December 2025

Hes Something

Daily Racing

25 EW

@6.00

Lose

-50

He's Something has a great pedigree, being by top sire Jukebox Jury and out of a Soldier of Fortune mare. He is unlikely to be fully wound up for this first run, but he could still be good enough. He is owned by well-renowned owners: the Rooneys.

15:20 3:20 Sedgefield

Trigg

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@1.80

Lose

-50

Trigg has got a penalty for his win at Worcester, but Heidi Plum cancels that out with her 7 lb claim. She is a more-than-capable jockey. Some horses with Scorpion in the pedigree can be quirky, but he looked very straightforward last time.

13:45 1:45 Sandown

No Drama This End

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@1.44

Win

No Drama This End confirmed the promise he showed in bumpers with an impressive win in a Grade 2 on his first time out over hurdles. He should take a lot of beating with improvement to come.

Get Out Of My Way was an expensive purchase as a three-year-old and is very well related, coming from the family that includes this trainer's highly talented Tripoli Flyer. Fergal O'Brien has a good record in bumpers and produced a first and second in yesterday's bumper at Ludlow.

03 December 2025

Julio Coolio

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@5.50

Lose

-50

There are plenty of promising types in this competitive-looking bumper, and it could prove to be very informative. Julio Coolio looks the pick on pedigree, as she is by the promising new sire Crystal Ocean and out of a Kapgarde mare who produced the brilliant Romeo Coolio. Her trainer, Harry Derham, has already nominated her as a horse to follow, and he has a very good strike rate in bumpers.

30 November 2025

Gameball

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@9.00

Lose

-50

Gameball has done us a favour both times he has run. Although he is massively upped in class here in the Grade 2 Royal Bond Hurdle, he could improve again to go close. He bolted up in his bumper when trained by Andrew Slattery and then won his maiden hurdle race easily. Despite winning, his jumping was average there, but with Henry de Bromhead now being his trainer he should have brushed this up. The Willie Mullins favourite has looked good so far, but the horse he beat last time got stuffed at Newbury today, and he is not the biggest of types.

-50

Gordon Elliott has got three very expensive purchases from the Irish point-to-point fields, so he could take some beating in this bumper. It could be worth a small interest on Thankyouforthedays at a big price. He finished 8th of 20 in a very good bumper at the Punchestown Festival, which has produced numerous winners. He has a fantastic pedigree, and I always love to see Deep Run in the family. His trainer, J. P. Dempsey, has been doing fairly well in bumpers. With some improvement, he could be in the shake-up.

Blue Las has always looked like a potential star chaser, and her overall form is very useful. She looks to have a fair bit of weight for her first run, but she is an imposing mare and carried 12 stone to victory in her last race.

Afancy Getaway

Daily Racing

@2.20

Lose

-50

Afancy Getaway has been mentioned very favorably by his trainer for a while now. He has a very nice pedigree, and the brilliant influence Deep Run is in the family. He won an Irish point-to-point very easily, and the horse who finished third, some 23 lengths behind, has won his next two races in Ireland. His trainer, Ben Pauling, couldn't be in much better form, and it will be very disappointing if he gets beaten in this race.

Hidden Fortune stands out on pedigree, being by Soldier of Fortune and out of a Presenting mare. The Skeltons don't seem to have their bumper horses fully wound up first time out, but they are still winning at a 25% strike rate.

Dan Skelton has the promising favourite, but she looks very short to me, especially as the stable jockey is riding elsewhere, and it could be worth a small interest on first time out Popton Point. She is beautifully bred and is related to many winners. She has got a lot of proper national hunt breeding in the family including Deep Run, which I always like to see. Her trainer Jennie Candish doesn't have many bumper horses, but she has won with her only other runner this season.

Just Call Me Lucy looks interesting in this handicap hurdle and could give us some cheer following Rachel Reeves latest budget disaster. She is a course and distance winner and had some eye catching runs in bumper races behind the likes of Diva Luna and Honky Tonk Highway and had a nice staying on pipe opener a few weeks ago.

Susie Lenglen has got some nice form and a pedigree that is loaded with top class national hunt breeding,including the likes of Deep Run, Strong Gale, Presenting and many others. She is trained by Noel Meade who used to be a genius with bumper horses, but still does well with his lower numbers these days. Her jockey Maxine O'Sullivan is very capable.

I've Madeupmymind looks well handicapped based on some very useful bumper form. This step up to three miles should be well within his compass as he is related to many winners, including Grand National winner Rule The World.

Jax Junior

@4.33

Win

166

The odds-on favorite for this had a go at chasing a couple of years ago, and that proved to be a disaster. Jax Junior jumped really well on his first chase behind the very impressive Lump Sum. Even on his hurdles form, he wouldn't be far behind the favorite, and his jumping can swing the race in his favor.

Treasure Memory

50 WIN

@7.50

Lose

-50

Although Tony Martin is not my favourite trainer by a long way, it is hard to ignore the chances of Treasure Memory. He was second in a point-to-point that has worked out well and then second to a highly touted horse of Barry Connell's, with the fourth horse in that race running a blinder at Cheltenham last week. This is competitive, but the trainer has booked the brilliant Derek O'Connor to ride, so they are presumably expecting a good run.

St James's Finest has been mentioned in a couple of places as a horse to follow from the Dan Skelton stable. Most of his bumper horses have been running really well first time out without quite winning, but this one is by one of the top sires in Jukebox Jury and hopefully he is straight enough to win this. With stable jockey Harry Skelton going to Ascot, this one could go off at a falsely high price.
