Tuesday 16th December – Big Pointers for 8/1 chance at Wincanton

No Cigar for Havana Sky… The only bet yesterday, Havana Sky, had chances ended no sooner as they’d started, with a dreadful piece of race riding by Kyle Strydom on Sensorium from Stall 13, which saw the rider handed a lofty 12-day ban over the New Year period for his antics (see Stewards Report). Havana ... <a title="Tuesday 16th December – Big Pointers for 8/1 chance at Wincanton" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/tuesday-16th-december-big-pointers-for-8-1-chance-at-wincanton-2/" aria-label="Read more about Tuesday 16th December – Big Pointers for 8/1 chance at Wincanton">Read more</a>

Monday 15th December – One standout bet at Wolverhampton

One play today, on what is a quiet enough day of it. Lingfield I struggled to get hopes up on any of it, so let that run with no interest, but one race at Wolverhampton pricked my ears on account of one I’ve been waiting for. Havana Sky 8/1 | 1pt Win 20:30 Wolverhampton T: ... <a title="Monday 15th December – One standout bet at Wolverhampton" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/monday-15th-december-one-standout-bet-at-wolverhampton/" aria-label="Read more about Monday 15th December – One standout bet at Wolverhampton">Read more</a>

Sunday 14th December – One bet to get in front at Southwell

Sunday 14th December – One bet to get in front at Southwell

First selection since Thursday’s disappointing runner, Bravais, who showed nothing of the promise I was hoping for and on that evidence he is one to put a line through entirely. That said, when I make that good a case for one and they show up like that, the run is often too bad to be ... <a title="Sunday 14th December – One bet to get in front at Southwell" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/sunday-14th-december-one-bet-to-get-in-front-at-southwell/" aria-label="Read more about Sunday 14th December – One bet to get in front at Southwell">Read more</a>

Thursday 11th December 2025 – A big price worth chancing at Chelmsford

Thursday 11th December 2025 – A big price worth chancing at Chelmsford

Neither of yesterday’s swings amounted to a great deal, but there was some promise in the latter runner, Horus, who put a respectable spin in at Kempton. The draw was always making that a tougher ask, and he wound up be sent all the way over to the rail, which I didn’t bank on and ... <a title="Thursday 11th December 2025 – A big price worth chancing at Chelmsford" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/thursday-11th-december-2025-a-big-price-worth-chancing-at-chelmsford/" aria-label="Read more about Thursday 11th December 2025 – A big price worth chancing at Chelmsford">Read more</a>

Wednesday 10th December 2025 – Two at Monster Prices

Before we get into today’s racing, it’s impossible not to look back at yesterday. On Monday, we took two swings — Manhattan Chute and Cali Case — both fitting the angle I’ve been a broken record about for years: Irish handicappers dropping into UK sphere. The angle is one of the most reliable I’ve ever ... <a title="Wednesday 10th December 2025 – Two at Monster Prices" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/wednesday-10th-december-2025-two-at-monster-prices/" aria-label="Read more about Wednesday 10th December 2025 – Two at Monster Prices">Read more</a>

Monday 8th December 2025 – Two movers on the All Weather

Irish handicappers switching to UK yards continue to be one of the most reliable angles for finding horses ahead of their marks. Aisling Oscar is the freshest reminder. He left a small Kildare yard, came into the UK system off 46 after running off 50 in basement-grade Irish handicaps, and immediately showed he was thrown ... <a title="Monday 8th December 2025 – Two movers on the All Weather" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/monday-8th-december-2025-two-movers-on-the-all-weather/" aria-label="Read more about Monday 8th December 2025 – Two movers on the All Weather">Read more</a>
