How To Pick A Winner – 2013 Grand National Runners Preview
With 40 runners in each year’s Grand National finding the winner is as much to do with luck as skill. So many runners mean luck in running is going to be at a premium and that’s before you factor in the unique test the Liverpool course has to offer. 30 fences in total must be jumped, some, like Becher’s Brook which is a real test for a horse.

2013 Aintree Festival – Day Two Betting Tips
2.00 Aintree – Rose Appeal Supports Alder Hey Top Novices´ Hurdle
Only five go to post and it’s all about My Tent Or Yours who is your short odds-on favourite. His form and sheer quality is above anything in this field and he’ll prove tough to beat.
2013 Cheltenham Gold Cup Betting Preview
For the first time in six years Kauto Star or Denman won’t grace the 2013 Cheltenham Gold Cup. Between them they managed three wins and five places in the Blue Riband event, but with their exit new talent can come to fore.
2013 Cheltenham Festival – Day Four Preview and Betting Tips
We move into the final day of the four day meeting and with heavy rain forecast I think we’ll need plenty of luck in finding a winner or two. A heavy down pour(s) could force a going change so you may have to adjust your bets throughout the day in the hope of getting ahead. We have two of the most competitive handicaps of the year on this card so don’t be surprised if you draw a blank, just like yesterday.
2013 Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle
Run on Gold Cup day on the New Course, the Albert Bartlett Novice Hurdle is a severe test of stamina for a young horse. Any kinks in staying power will be found out so finding a horse that stays is key. Given previous winners like Weapons Amnesty (2009), Wichita Lineman (2007) and Bobs Worth (2011) went on to prove their worth over fences looking for a horse of stature should help in terms of indicating staying power.

A race that revolves around David Pipe’s classy grey, Dynaste. One of the festival big talking horses, there was much debate about where he was to run. He ditched the RSA to run here and it was the right call for me.
2013 World Hurdle Betting Tips
With the defection of the three time champion Big Bucks due to injury, we have the most open looking World Hurdle in years. In fact, you’d have to go back to 2006 when Alan King’s My Way De Solzen scored to get any resemblance of an open looking Stayer’s Hurdle. This year’s race is shaping up to be the most competitive renewal in a decade.
2013 Ryanair Chase Betting Tips
The Ryanair Chase was added to the festival back in 2005 and the race has been a welcome addition for me. The intermediate trip of two miles five furlongs gives top class chasers, who find two miles too sharp and three miles plus too taxing, an out in a quality event.
Day Two – Cheltenham Festival Betting Tips
A really tough second day at the Cheltenham Festival and we’ll need plenty of luck to make a few quid. I’m not as strong on today’s picks as I was yesterday, but with a bit of luck we can show a profit or break even for the day.
