19:00 World Championship 2026
Zhao Xintong
50 WIN
@+209
Open
0
Zhao Xintong looks a rock-solid pick to defend his World Championship crown. After smashing Mark Williams 18-12 in the final, Zhao's defied early "Crucible Curse" doubts with 10-6 over Zhang Anda and 10-7 vs John Higgins. A recent Masters quarter-final push and a career-high No. 5 ranking show he's peaking right on cue for Sheffield :)
18:00 6:00 Kempton
Rogue Empire
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1600
Win
55
Rogue Empire is a tough 4yo with some C&D placings to his name. The recent Chelmsford efforts show me he's still competitive off this mark. He handles sound surfaces well and acts on the AW. If Edmunds can get him traveling after this break, he could step up now, as the shorter distance could suit and can place again.

@+1600
Win
55
Seraphic brings some solid flat form, including places at this trip, but was far too free when favourite last time. Tongue-tie returns with a first-time hood to help settle him now, and Isabelle Ryder's 5 lb claim off 94 appeals to me here. Has prior wins in the tongue-tie and is worth a punt each-way for a bounce back here.
16:55 4:55 Kempton
Big Bear Hug
Daily Racing

@+2800
Lose
-50
Big Bear Hug fluffed the start last time here, racing too freely before fading. She knows this course well and has placed before, handles this ground, and has a good class record with 2 wins from 19, so Luke Catton's 3 lb claim off 71 gives me a bit of hope. Each-way possible if rediscovering her mojo.
16:35 4:35 Bath
Virtual Hug
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1000
Win
300
Virtual Hug is a course-and-distance specialist who stays 12 to 16f well on this surface, with four class wins and prior places off higher marks. Tongue-tie works, and last-time fourth was a return to form, so solid each-way claims here.
16:30 4:30 Down Royal
Colvin
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+650
Lose
-50
Colvin could be the comeback story here. He is a point winner with Yeats stamina who’s shown me more than enough in rules hurdles to say that he has untapped potential on this return. Tongue-tie on first time and Johnson’s 7 lb claim is a bonus. Crawford’s yard always targets these hunter chases also....
15:50 3:50 Warwick

Win
20
Last chance saloon for Half Pint Daisy here as she wasn't at her best last time. However, she remains capable at 3m, and she's shown me more than enough in recent placed efforts to say a bounce back is coming. Ned Fox's 3 lb claim off 74 is a helping hand here.
15:40 3:40 Beverley
Star Noir

@+900

-50
Star Noir is a consistent maiden with solid placed form at this trip, course, and class. He was only beaten 3l off 2 lb higher last time. He handles most ground. Billy Garritty on, and his best chance is to sit handy and keep plugging on, I reckon.
15:33 3:33 Windsor
Tamzan
Daily Racing

@+1400
Win
45
Tamzan impressed me when fourth at Kempton last time, doing plenty early from a wide draw but keeping on very well and is clearly still improving. She's placed twice at this trip, thrives at 8f plus, and now goes handicapping off a very generous 67. Rob Hornby up again is a big plus. Yard in good nick too.

Slaney View

@+2500
Lose
-50
Slaney View meets softer opposition today after being outclassed in a Group 3 Priory last time. She boasts a perfect placing record at this course and handles the going well, thriving at 5 to 7f for in-form Bolger. Declan McDonogh retains the ride off a fair mark here.
14:50 2:50 Bath
Rubys Profit
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+700
Lose
-50
Rubys Profit ran no race in the Listed Stakes last time, needing the run, but she's better than that. A three-time 5f winner, she handles all ground and has solid class form with 3 places. Now, with a hood added to the tongue-tie and Doughty claiming 3 lb, she's primed to bounce back off a fair mark.
14:35 2:35 Kempton
Tyrant Gg
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+850
Lose
-50
Not only do I like the name, but Tyrant GG is a Mehmas breed who was a 6 to 9f winner, and the dam is Panenka, who was brilliant at 6f as a 2yo. Marco Botti's yard targets 2yo maidens, and Luke Morris is a top jockey booking here.
14:15 2:15 Bath
Tree Wizard
Daily Racing

@+700
Lose
-50
Tree Wizard debuts for Archie Watson, who boasts a superb 2yo record with a 24% strike rate. Bred for speed (Tasleet half-bred to 6f winner Sarafina Mshairi), and suits 5f. William Cox rides from a wide draw, but Watson's newcomers often fire first time.

Golden Samba

@+900
Lose
-50
Golden Samba is lightly raced and has shown me glimpses of ability, especially her third-place finish, which was her standout effort. She stays well up to 14f and handles soft ground. The trip and conditions are no issue. The 5 lb claim from Olivia Tubb helps off this basement mark, so there's scope if she recaptures that mojo.

Palina
Daily Racing
25 EWNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction
@+2200
Win
85
Palina looks like one of those interesting ones here. On paper she’s a €20,000 Japan filly with a very decent pedigree, and Kevin Coleman and Seamie Heffernan are a good combo for newcomers. Stamina is there for the distance, but I do expect greenness at these odds and a possible one-paced finish rather than early zip, so an each-way punt seems reasonable here.
16:32 4:32 Sligo
Creative Dancer
Daily Racing
25 EWNAP
@+1800
Win
64
Creative Dancer is a tough nut to crack as a 9-year-old, and he's back from a break where his form is a bit "meh", but the 7 lb claim from Sadhbh Tormey helps. Now he's dropped to a basement mark and the cheekpieces return, which could help him settle better now switching back to the flat. His stamina is proven for this trip. While in this class he has had issues, a truly run race might suit if he doesn't blow up early.
Metamorpheus
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+900
Win
450
Metamorpheus showed me a spark of life when third over hurdles last time, staying on late despite looking a tricky ride. At 7 years old, his flat record is 1 win from 27 on similar going, but the 7 lb claim from Jamie Orr off a rock-bottom 51 helps, and he's been placed off higher marks before.
14:40 2:40 Hamilton
Elysian Flame
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+800
Lose
-50
Elysian Flame returned in style with a convincing 2-length win at Beverley off a 2 lb lower mark, confirming at age 10 that he's still a force when he turns up right. He has a perfect course record here, handles the going well, and has a solid class record with prior places off higher handicaps. Joanna Mason retains the ride, and his proven stamina on any ground makes him a reliable each-way.

Miss Justice

-50
Miss Justice arrives in excellent form following a neck second in a Group 3 here last time. She's proven over 12f and is also a Listed winner last year. She handles sound surfaces well and has solid course form, including a placing from three visits here. Billy Loughnane takes the ride off a very fair mark today.
13:55 1:55 Cork
Hasita
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+2200
Win
85
Hasita is a well-bred filly who should improve, and she’s still learning. She was a bit too keen when stepped up in trip at the Curragh and faded late, but the main positive is that she’s now back after a long layoff over a more suitable 6. J P Murtagh is a big plus here also.

Win
15
Disruptor looks a solid, progressive type. He has won three times from 7f up to 1m. The step back down to 7f is interesting because his profile says he has good potential for this trip, and Irad Ortiz is a major plus.

Lady Hornblower

@+1600
Lose
-50
Lady Hornblower has excuses only up to a point, and this may be my last attempt with her. She’s shown me that she handles this surface and has a prior win on this going, but her last Beverley run was disappointing. One positive is that she’s effective at 7f and has already placed in this class, so a return to her better mojo would put her back in the mix.

Evening Tess showed some decent improvement at Chepstow last time. She was beaten a long way but did better than on her hurdles debut. With Harry Skelton now taking the ride, she's the type to progress now handicapping, from a top yard that is in serious form. Chance for the places today if she settles a little better.

Coul Angel

@+900
Lose
-50
Coul Angel has some strong course form with a decent win here over C&D and solid placing stats on today's going in 6f starts. A recent second-place finish showed me that he can do better than this, and with Buick riding for Appleby, he holds every chance if handling the conditions today. To me, his handicap form remains competitive and should make him a top player back at a track that he simply loves.

-50
Flowerhead ran well when beaten 3L in the Lansdown Stakes at Bath last time. First time out for a while and she needed the run and just couldn't quicken. She's effective at 5 to 6f with a prior win on this going and has placed in this class before, so with Silvestre de Sousa she could get her back on track today at decent odds.
Subtotal-120
01 May 2026
20:00 Leeds v Burnley
Leeds - Leeds
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+104
Win
52
Leeds at home usually come out aggressive and try to set the tempo early, which suits an HT/FT play here. Burnley are organised, but they’re not the quickest starters away and can take time to grow into games.
19:45 Ayr v St Johnstone
Draw - St Johnstone
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+379
Lose
-50
St Johnstone are the better side overall, and they should have enough to win. The only question is when they take control. Ayr at home do scrap early on and try to keep it tight, so it might not all click straight away for St Johnstone. It feels more like they grow into it rather than start fast here.
19:45 Dunfermline v Arbroath
Draw - Dunfermline
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+450
Lose
-50
This one feels a bit more scrappy and tight compared to the others. Neither side is great at blowing teams away, so it could take a while to get going. Dunfermline at home will probably edge it, but they’re not always fast starters. Arbroath are the type to sit in and make it awkward, especially early on. So instead of forcing a fast start, this looks more like a slow first half, then Dunfermline nicking it late.
19:45 Livingston v Aberdeen
Draw - Aberdeen
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+500
Lose
-50
This feels like another slow starter. Livingston at home are awkward, brutally physical, and hard to break down early on. Aberdeen are the better side overall, but they’re not always quick out of the blocks away from home. So it’s got that same pattern: a tight first half, then Aberdeen take control later. Best shout for me is a draw then Aberdeen for value here.
19:45 Morton v Airdrieonians
Draw - Airdrieonians
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+600
Lose
-50
This one’s a bit messy to call. Morton at home are tough and physical, but they don’t always start fast. Airdrie are a bit more attacking, but they can leave gaps and aren’t the most solid at the back. Feels like one of those games where it takes a while to get going, then opens up later to me.
19:45 Partick v Queens Park
Partick - Partick
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+125
Lose
-50
Partick at home usually come out quick and try to get on top early. Queen's Park can take a while to get going and don't always deal well with early pressure. So it's pretty simple, really: if Partick score first, they'll probably stay in control.
19:45 Pisa v Lecce
Draw - Lecce
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+500
Win
250
This one feels pretty tight, but Lecce just edge it on overall quality here. Pisa at home are usually organised and hard to break down, but they don’t always create loads going forward. Lecce are a bit more capable of nicking a goal, especially when the game opens up later. So I don’t see much happening early.
19:45 Raith v Ross County
Draw - Ross County
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+550
Lose
-50
This one’s pretty even, but Ross County have that bit more quality overall. Away from home they’re not the type to fly out of the blocks. Raith at home will make it tough early on, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if it’s tight and scrappy in the first half. Feels like one of those games where it’s level at the break, then someone edges it late. The question is which one, but my gut says Ross.

Bon Viveur

@+4000
Lose
-50
Bon Viveur arrives with some decent form after landing a Grade 3 Novice Hurdle last time. Willie Mullins has won this race the last three years. This progressive 6yo has a perfect record at 2m4f, with strong soft-ground form to boot. Brian Hayes is not the first-string jockey, and Mullins has five horses (out of the eight runners) in this race today :) To me, he's a standout contender if building on that top-level effort at good odds here.

-50
Autumns Breeze ran another good race when beaten last time. That was after a long layoff, and she’s shown me that she can handle this trip with the cheekpieces back on, with 2 from 5 in them. She’s got a good record on this going and in class, and Lewis’s 5 lb claim gives her a chance to get competitive again if the freshen-up works.

Herculeus looks capable of bouncing back here over his best trip. He was never involved at Kempton last time, but his record at 1m is good and he’s shown me that he can handle this sort of ground. Kavanagh on, so he’s not without a chance here.

@+400

Practice Run arrives in excellent form after landing that Intermediate under Bradley Gibbs. He’s got a fine record at 3m and loves good ground, so this looks ideal for him now switching to rules with Gibbs claiming 5 lb off. The yard is in form, and he’s the sort who can go close if taking to it.
17:00 5:00 Goodwood
Too Hot To Tango
Daily Racing
25 EWNB
@+1100
Win
30
Too Hot To Tango is a filly going the right way, and that Wolverhampton third reads well, especially as she made the running and was still there turning in. She’s been consistent all season, handles the AW and a bit of cut on turf, and the step up to 9f should continue to bring out more. Rob Hornby is a plus for Morrison’s yard, and she looks a solid each-way shout again.
Veritable
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+250
Lose
-50
Veritable has some serious potential after an eye-catching second at Kempton, where he made plenty of use of his speed and kept finding extra. The cheekpieces worked well, and the Gosdens have the yard firing. Luke Catton's 3 lb claim is a bonus over this 9f trip on his return from a break.

Jetbob is a former point-to-point winner but comes here on the back of a bit of a “meh” run. A tongue-tie is fitted for the first time and that might help sharpen him up here. With Scallan claiming 7 lb, there's room for a bit more if he puts it all together today.

Fort Rock showed me plenty of talent when battling to a head win under a penalty at Kempton last time, knuckling down well despite a touch of greenness. Charlie Appleby's yard has a great record in this race, and the step up to 8f on the turf should suit this Wootton Bassett colt on his first try on grass. Connor Planas claims 3 lb, making him a decent shout if handling the switch.

Crusherman ran as if a little more experience would help when finishing a respectable third at Newbury on debut, having raced prominently before fading late on. The drop back to 5f should suit here, and Meehan’s juveniles often step forward a fair bit from their first start.
14:00 Bari v Virtus Entella
Draw - Draw
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+375
Lose
-50
This one looks pretty even again here. Bari at home are usually the more solid side, but they don’t always start quickly. Entella are quite cautious away from home and tend to dig in and keep things tight. So again it feels like a slow burner with not much happening, so my best shout is a draw overall as neither side really stands out as taking control today.
14:00 Carrarese v Cesena
Draw - Draw
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+450
Win
225
This one feels pretty tight and a bit scrappy. Carrarese at home are usually solid but not really free-scoring. Cesena are similar, organised, hard to break down, and not the kind of team that open games up early. So it’s more of a slow burner than anything exciting, I think.
14:00 Empoli v Avellino
Empoli - Empoli
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+259
Lose
-50
This looks like a game where Empoli should be in control, especially at home. They’re the stronger side technically and usually keep things fairly organized. Avellino will usually dig in and try to frustrate them, and they don’t tend to offer much going forward in these tougher away games.
14:00 Juve Stabia v Frosinone
Draw - Frosinone
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+450
Win
225
Frosinone are the stronger side on paper and usually have more quality going forward. Juve can be awkward, though, and they make it tough, especially early on in the game. I don’t see this being one-sided from the start. It’s more likely a tight first half, then Frosinone’s quality starts to show.
14:00 Mantova v Monza
Monza - Monza
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+175
Lose
-50
Monza are the clear stronger side here. Even away from home, they’ve got more quality, more experience, and better control in games. Mantova will probably try to stay compact and keep it tight early, but over 90 minutes Monza should just wear them down.
14:00 Modena v AC Reggiana
Modena - Modena
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+160
Win
80
This is a pretty even game. Not much between them, but Modena at home usually carries a bit more threat and controls the game better. Reggiana away tend to sit in, stay compact, and make it awkward, but they don’t always offer much going forward. So it’s likely tight early on, with Modena having more of the ball and eventually edging it here.
14:00 Padova v Pescara
Draw - Draw
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+500
Lose
-50
This one’s pretty evenly matched on paper. Padova at home are usually steady and organised, but they don’t always run away with games. Pescara are a bit unpredictable. They can be lively going forward but also leave gaps at the back. So it’s not screaming a clear winner to me. Feels more like a game that stays tight for long spells, hence the draw stance today.
14:00 Palermo v Catanzaro
Palermo - Palermo
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+139
Lose
-50
Palermo at home are usually on the front foot and try to get at teams early. Catanzaro are decent, but away from home they can get pinned back a bit. This feels more like a game where they start strong, I reckon.
14:00 Sampdoria v Sudtirol
Draw - Sampdoria
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+450
Lose
-50
Sampdoria at home usually try to take control, but they’ve not been the most reliable team lately. Sudtirol are the type to sit deep, slow the game down, and make it awkward for everyone. So it’s likely a slow start, not much space, and a game that takes time to open up here.
14:00 Spezia v Venezia
Draw - Venezia
Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@+400
Lose
-50
This one’s fairly balanced, but Venezia just edges it in terms of overall quality and team ethos. Spezia at home are usually quite organised and will make things difficult, but they don’t always create loads of chances. Venezia are a bit more solid and tend to manage games better away from home than you’d expect. So it feels tight, especially early on here.
