A lifetime around racing
Newmarket roots. More than 30 years of study.
I come from a family who have lived and breathed horse racing in Newmarket. Their practical knowledge of form, courses, horses and the importance of patience was passed down to me and created a fascination that has lasted throughout my life.
My main forecasting focus is Flat turf racing, although the daily analysis can also include all-weather, hurdles and chases when the evidence is strong. I have enjoyed some tremendous winners, but experience also teaches humility: not every strong selection wins.
Horse racing is in my blood. Best of luck—and let’s ride again on a winner.

Today’s race view
We do not force a selection in every race.
The model can return Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze or No Selection. Platinum represents the strongest overall evidence, while Bronze remains a qualifying selection with a more cautious confidence level. Paid members can view the full daily analysis from 11:00am UK time, including the score, nearest rival, supporting evidence and principal concern.
