3:45 – Captain Mowbray 7/1 EW Cartmel is very much a specialists track so I always favour a horse that’s proven to act well round here.

Stranger still, her last two startsContinue reading “20th July – Market Rasen Tip”

Sent off favourite or second favourite for all three of his chase starts to date, his most promising run came on his penultimateContinue reading “16th July – Uttoxeter Tip”
