Daily Tips On Betting.Betfair 'Introductory' Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

An interesting race, with KALDOUN DES ROCS preferred to fellow French recruits Pourquoi Pas Papa and Thewoodcorner before any betting clues are known. 

Best Odds On The Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

NORTHERN AIR caught the eye with how she travelled into the contest on her chasing/stable debut at Carlisle last month and, open to improvement, she's taken to make her second start in this sphere a winning one. Coup de Coeur struck twice over fences last season and should be sharper for his recent return at Kelso, while Krak, a lightly-raced winner over hurdles, rates an interesting newcomer to the larger obstacles. 

Betfair Winter Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) (GBB Race)

A point and bumper winner, NO DRAMA THIS END looked an exciting prospect when landing a Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham on hurdling debut last month, impressing with how he travelled into contention, and he is taken to follow up with the potential of plenty more to offer. Tormund Giantsbane also made a winning start over hurdles in good style and is feared most, ahead of The Blue Room.

Betfair Esher Novices' Chase (Grade 2) (GBB Race)

Only the 4 runners but an intriguing renewal nevertheless. Smart hurdler SALVER tried to keep tabs with Lulamba over a shorter trip on chase debut and may prove a different proposition over 3m. He gets the vote ahead of Doyen Quest who carries a 3 lb penalty for his impressive win in the 'Future Stars' at Exeter and is likely to make another bold bid, while it would be no surprise to see Quebecois (runner-up to Doyen Quest) or Laurens Bay improve markedly second time up over fences. 

Bet At Your Best With Betfair Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

There shouldn't be much between HIDDEN HISTORY and Champagne Twist, with the latter meeting Dan Skelton's charge on 2 lb better terms compared to when third to that rival (beaten two lengths) at Aintree where they were both making their chase debuts. Champagne Twist's finest hour over hurdles came at this course and he is greatly respected, but Hidden History is proving most progressive for this yard and he is taken to strike again. Kelce and chase debutant Tommy The Tank are others with claims.

Betfair Racing Podcasts 'Four Years Old' Handicap Hurdle

Lots with chances but Jamie Snowden's MARCHE D'ALIGRE rates just the pick of the weights on the back of a resurgent Wetherby second and hails from a yard in fine form so edges the vote. Excellent Huntingdon second Caelan heads the list of dangers, although Across Earth, Ocean Conquest and Fight My Fire all warrant plenty of respect too. Courageous Strike completes the shortlist.   

Exeter

JCB Tele-Handler Pony Racing Authority Graduates Handicap Hurdle (Conditionals/Amateurs)

SPARKLING DUKE isn't entirely straightforward but put it all together on the back of 9 months off when successful on yard debut at Ffos Las 16 days ago and a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him going in again. Bollin Thou failed to justify strong market support on his first run for Nick Scholfield but ran better than being pulled up suggests and it'll be interesting to see whether there's money for him again. See The Green is another worthy of note.

JCB Fastrac British Stallion Studs EBF 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

GENTLEMAN TOBOOT saw off a useful prospect from the Skelton yard when making a successful start to his hurdle career at Newton Abbot in October and looks up to defying a penalty. There was plenty to like about Klub de Reve's opening hurdle effort at Newbury and he's second choice ahead of Dan Skelton's Phineas Bunce. 

JCB Hydrogen 'Chasing Excellence' Beginners' Chase (GBB Race)

JOYEUSE should be wiser with last month's first experience of fences behind her and is narrowly preferred to Brentford Hope in this very useful maiden chase.

JCB Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

A very useful handicap but it's hard to side against Joe Tizzard's U CANT BE SERIOUS who made light of a 9-month absence when an impressive scorer on his chasing bow over C&D and looks the sort to go on improving for a while yet. Donnacha arrives at the top of his game and should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way, while Royal Jewel and Harper's Brook can't be discounted either. 

JCB Hydradig Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Preference is for CHEDINGTON'S GUEST, who was having just his second start in handicap company when runner-up here last month and can race off the same mark. Recent winners Clear Storm and Jack Hoola head the list of dangers. 

Hawke Barn Wedding & Special Events Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Preference is for ART DECCO, who has already proven himself over extreme trips and figures off a handy mark. Astronomic View and Jupiter Allen rate the principal dangers. 

Ludo Sports & Live Lounge Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

This will probably go to one of the several interesting newcomers, with HE'S SOMETHING getting the nod. He looks the part on paper and shades preference ahead of similarly appealing types in Jpr Two, Par Avion and Sirgreg. The clear pick of those with experience in this sphere is Sailing By and he merits plenty of respect, while Shanagolden Girl showed ability between the flags and is one to note starting out under Rules.

Sedgefield

BetWright Bet The Wright Way Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Dan Skelton's LEAUMEC DE MEE went with plenty of promise when runner-up on his hurdling debut at Fontwell and can build on it to go one better here. Eddie My Eagle also looks to have better days ahead of him but might have to settle for second once more, while Sam England's hurdling debutant Made All has some fair winning Flat form to his name and also commands respect.  

BetWright Bangers N'Cash Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

MARHABA PRINCE showed fairly useful winning form in bumpers and looks to have been found a very good opportunity to make a winning start in this sphere. Patrick Neville's points scorer Buddah Castle appeals as much the biggest threat on his first go over hurdles ahead of Animato. 

BeatWright Beat The Wright Way Handicap Chase

Stamina is clearly JAMESIECONN's forte judged on his winning chase debut over this trip at Doncaster last winter and, provided he's raring to go following a seven-month break, the 6-y-o could be the answer on debut for the Nicky Richards yard. Upfordebate made it 3-5 over fences when scoring over C&D last time and he is feared most ahead of Scottish King and the veteran Eveque.

BetWright Safer Gambling Handicap Hurdle

NO MORE BOLERO had plenty in hand when scoring at Ludlow last week and is taken to follow up. Bathgate and Tanking Along rate the principal dangers. 

Prodrive Shopfitting Ltd Novices' Handicap Chase

The market should offer plenty of clues regarding the chase debutants, and it could pay to take a chance on Irish point runner-up BO CRUZ who made a pleasing comeback over hurdles last month and should have more to offer now sent chasing. He's narrowly preferred to the more-experienced Cave Hill, who would be feared if back to his best in first-time cheekpieces, while Huit Reflets arrives in good heart and should give his running again. 

Lisa Margaret Turner Memorial Handicap Hurdle

BE THE DIFFERENCE flourishes at this time of year and he's taken to land the hat-trick off an unchanged mark. Tread Softly Now was better than ever when successful at Ayr last month and should be in the mix again despite operating from a career-high mark, while Fairly Fulling shaped well behind a subsequent winner last time and remains of interest at this level. 

Merry Christmas From Fairlight Studios Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

TRIGG made a winning debut under confident handling at Worcester in September and can defy a penalty to make it 2-2 in bumpers. Grazeon Sunshine rates the main danger following his debut second at Newcastle, while Caspada looks an interesting newcomer on paper. 

Newcastle

Create Your Bet Builders At Midnite Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

The way ANTRIM strolled home in a C&D novice in October suggests there could be more to come now handicapping for new trainer Karl Burke and he's narrowly preferred to the thriving Jez Bomb. Last month's C&D runner-up Sea Legend may prove best of the remainder. 

Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At betmgm.co.uk EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

LAKE COMO was much improved when runner-up at Lingfield last month, finishing with running left having been denied a clear run, and he's taken to go one better here. Euston Hall is in good hands and should improve on just his second start, while stable debutant Victory Ace and newcomer King's English both make appeal, particularly if supported. 

Bet 10 Get 40 With BetMGM Nursery

The form of JACKABI's nursery debut second at Wolverhampton looks decent and he is taken to go one better off the same mark here. Up The Agenda has won two of his last three and rates the main danger ahead of Smartanck.

Win 250,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Handicap

A few with chances but it could pay to side with Sam England's course scorer MR MISTOFFELEES who travelled fluently when an excellent recent Southwell second and could find this drop back to 7f in his favour. Roger Fell's course specialist Eldrickjones rates a big threat though off a handy-looking mark, while Midnight Lion, Al Muqdad and Blazing Son can all have a say too in this competitive handicap. 

Best Odds Guaranteed At BetMGM Nursery

BRAVE TRAVELLER upped his game when runner-up on nursery debut here last week and should appreciate the return to this longer trip. He gets the nod. King Victorious and Copperfield are feared most. 

Make The Move To Midnite Handicap

It's likely that TEARDROPS will take plenty of stopping under a penalty following his thoroughly decisive display over C&D last week. He shades preference ahead of the in-form Spun To Gold, who also scored over C&D on the same card as Teardrops nine days ago and he escapes a penalty for that. Superior Council and Mister Sky Blue filled the first two places in a handicap here last month and they should both be on the premises once more.

Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap (Div 1)

WINTER CROWN won over 6f at this track after a stable switch and could benefit from dropping to a well-run 5f. He gets the vote in favour of Dandy Dinmont, who brings consistent form, including a C&D second 18 days ago, with first-time cheekpieces potentially sharpening him further. Lovat Scout returns to his preferred trip where he scored at Southwell last month.

Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap (Div 2)

CASTAN boasts four C&D victories and remains well treated on his last winning mark. His consistent profile counts for plenty at this sort of level and he's just about the one to beat. Orbital Chime finally got his head in front at Southwell recently and should be competitive back at this trip, while Showtime Mahomes may benefit from dropping to 5f.

Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Amateur Jockeys' Handicap

AISLING OSCAR has been transformed since joining new connections, completing a quick-fire Newcastle double in the last week or so, just seeing off Concert Boy over 1m on Tuesday. He can uphold the form with that rival, while Prince of Bel Lir needs a second look starting out for his excellent yard.

Dundalk

Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap

PRAIRIE GIRL quickened clear in good style over C&D on her most recent outing and could well be capable of overcoming a 12 lb hike in the weights on that evidence. Sporting Hero will be more at home returning to a lower level, while Never Shout Never should strip fitter for his recent stable debut and is another to consider from a handy-looking mark. 

Irishinjuredjockeys.com Maiden

GOD OF POWER made an encouraging start to his career when fourth over C&D a fortnight ago and will set a decent standard for the rest to aim at if making the anticipated improvement. Theorist also showed promise in the same race on his debut but was 2½ lengths behind the selection. Abbotsford, No Temperance and Let's Smash It are newcomers to monitor in the betting.

BAR 1 Betting New App Out Now Handicap

FINAL VOYAGE proved at least as good as ever when runner-up at this C&D on his latest outing, only narrowly denied by a 3-y-o improver, and he can build on that effort with cheekpieces back on. He is taken to see off the challenge of Instant Appeal, who is respected having made his second start for Stephen Thorne a winning one, with Daler also considered.

Friday Night Lights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap (0-60) (Div 1)

Preference is for BEAT THE DEVIL, who posted a good third at this course last week and has fewer miles on the clock than most of his rivals here. Una Matata and Thompson Gunner head the list of dangers. 

Friday Night Lights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap (0-60) (Div 2)

WELLWHATSHAPPENIN has improved since joining his new yard and gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Hell Left Loose and Vivacious Lady can also make their presence felt. 

DundalkStadium.com Maiden

This trip should suit SEOLA if her pedigree is any guide and she is taken to make it third time lucky having chased home an odds-on winner over a mile here last month. The 4-y-os Soaring Sun and Kings Gesture are feared most in that order of preference, while Hallelujah Rose is also likely to be on the premises.

Now Racing Every Wednesday At Dundalk Apprentice Handicap (0-60)

Joseph O'Brien's POWER OF PRAYER is very much on the up since sent handicapping and can make light of a 4 lb weights rise for her recent C&D success. Nibras Rainbow also arrives on the back of a course victory and is next on the list ahead of the handily-weighted Don't Look Now and in-form duo Miss Australie and Someone's Wish. 

Book Online At DundalkStadium.com Handicap

QUATRE BRAS was better than ever when a ready winner at this track 3 weeks ago. That form looks solid and he's taken to follow up. Gentleman Joe finished runner-up over 2m here last time but looks a danger if again getting the run of the race, while smart hurdler Gaucher remains of interest from this mark on just his second Flat start.

Race 1 - Lincoln Aviator Stakes - Dirt

UNION SECURITY created a big impression on debut and will be tough to beat. Shayesh is second best, while stable newcomer Law Of Pharoahs is interesting switching to dirt.

Race 2 - Lincoln Maiden Stakes - Dirt

An interesting maiden. RULER OF TIME sets a clear standard of those with experience and he's the selection. Lino Padrino is apparently well thought of and can chase him home, while fellow newcomer Ishtiah can also go well.

Race 3 - Ford Mustang Handicap - Dirt

An open-looking handicap, with ROAD BLOC earning the vote. Tourist will be a big threat if stepping up on recent dirt debut, while Don Pacifico is interesting trying this surface for the first time.

Race 4 - Ford Mach-E Handicap - Dirt

GRAY BOSS won nicely on debut over 7f here last month and is taken to follow up making handicap debut over this slightly longer trip. Norato was better than ever when coming out on top last time and may be the main threat, while Itsatenfromlen hasn't been with Doug Watson long and may have more to offer.

Race 5 - Ford Handicap - Dirt

It could be worth chancing DESTRUCTIVE making his UAE debut for top local connections. Khanjar brings solid form to the table and may be next best, while the unexposed African Candy also enters calculations.

Race 6 - Al Garhoud Sprint Listed Stakes Sponsored By Al Tayer - Dirt

Last season's Golden Shaheen winner DARK SAFFRON made a winning comeback last month and is taken to follow up. Mufasa could be set for a good UAE season and looks the main threat, while El Nasseeb makes up the three.

Race 7 - Lincoln Navigator Handicap - Dirt

SILENT AGE is not long with the Doug Watson yard and he should be capable of much better than he showed on stable debut last time, with his sire a potent force on this surface. Arabian Tale ran well last time and is next best, while the Crisford duo Estmrar and Aablan are also considered.

Race 8 - Lincoln Navigator Maiden Stakes - Dirt

Honest Moon sets a clear standard but he does have fitness to prove, while Jamie Osborne's VINO SAURO is already up and running and should relish the step back up in trip. Elusive Trevor may be best of the rest
