Leicester racecourse looks like surviving the weather this week, but conditions will still be stamina-sapping, which could well work in favour of our tip in the final race on the card.

It might be a relatively quiet Wednesday at the races, but there’s still enough quality action for our tipsters to get their teeth into, including this competitive-looking handicap at Yarmouth.

The centrepiece of the third day of the Ebor meeting should be a thriller as a dozen of the best five-furlong sprinters around compete for the Nunthorpe Stakes and the biggest prize of the day.

Economics' price for the Irish Champion Stakes, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and the Champion Stakes has been shortened after beating Royal Ascot winner Jayarebe in the Prix Guillaume d’Ornano.

The biggest prize on Saturday’s card has attracted a huge field, with 19 lively two-year-olds offering the prospect of a thrilling cavalry charge down Newbury’s five-furlong track.

The morning withdrawal of Charlie Appleby’s firm early favourite Symbol Of Honour has opened the door for the remaining nine starters to stake their claim in this lively six-furlong sprint at Newbury.

As appears to be the growing horse racing trend, the bigger the prize the smaller the field, but the six contenders lining up for the Princess of Wales’ Stakes should still give us a race to savour.

There’s plenty in with a shout of landing this one-mile handicap, and our tipsters have managed to narrow the 10-runner field down to their best-value contender.

Lingfield offers a varied mixed-surface card on Tuesday evening, and this 1900 middle-distance race around the all-weather track has plenty of betting options for race-goers to consider.

Only six runners line up here, but that doesn’t make it any easier a race to decipher, with even rank outsider Dear My Friend capable of being in the mix with the in-form Oisin Murphy at the reins.

Friday’s Group 1 action kicks off with the prestigious Commonwealth Cup, an intriguing six-furlong sprint for three-year-olds that has been known to produce an upset or two in the past.

Be sure to settle down in plenty of time for the opening race on day two at Royal Ascot because this five-furlong dash for sprightly two-year-olds will be over in a shake of a horse’s tail.

With the Group 1 action behind us on the opening day of Royal Ascot, Andrew Of Fiosrach has saved his trends-based analysis for the first big-field handicap of the five-day Festival.

Royal Ascot 2024 is finally here and the Planet Sport tipsters have been studying all the races ahead of this bumper summer Flat festival. Can they find you some winners on Tuesday, June 18.

With a week to go before Royal Ascot, it’s a relatively quiet Tuesday at the races, but the card at Salisbury serves up some decent races, not least this competitive fillies’ handicap.

The top three in the betting all won last time out, but there’s only room in the winner’s enclosure for one of them to celebrate back-to-back successes.

The top of the market might be a little congested for this competitive seven-furlong sprint, but that leaves some appealing each-way value lower in the betting.

A large high-quality field means that this year’s Epsom Derby could well live up to its name as a Classic, with most of the 16 runners holding realistic hopes of being involved in the final stages.

Only five runners line up to contest the second biggest prize on Epsom’s card, and according to our colleagues in the Tipstrr office, the Coronation Cup could go to a less fancied prospect.
