Today’s tip comes from Kempton where Andrew Balding gives a smart performer on the flat his debut over hurdles. HATTON FLIGHT is taken to make a winning debut over timber after racking up nine victories on the level. He could simply prove too classy for these rivals if taking to hurdles.

Today’s tip comes from Salisbury where a talented debutant looks to get off to a winning start. Andrew Balding’s newcomer CHEF, who holds an entry in the Racing Post Trophy, won’t need to be anything too special to go close in today’s race and word from the stable is that he could go on to achieve big things.

Today’s tip comes from Ascot where BREAKHEART aims to make it three wins from four starts this year. He shaped encouragingly over 1m 2f at Newmarket earlier this month while trainer, Andrew Balding, is looking to make it two wins in three attempts at this race having landed it in 2008 with Buccellati. The 10f trip looks set to be a positive again considering his finishing style over the same distance LTO.

Today’s tip comes from Goodwood where RELATIVE STRENGTH should strip a bit fitter than his return last month. Came up short LTO when favourite at Kempton. That was a longer trip, on the polytrack and his first race back after a long layoff. Today’s race is similar to a race he claimed third in last year but this time he is 8lb lower in the handicap and could be poised to land the spoils at good odds.

Today’s tip comes from Kempton where the quirky WIGRAM’S TURN tries a trip for the first time which should suit his racing style. This Andrew Balding trained gelding has a good record here at 7f and usually in frame come the end of races. Plenty to like about last two efforts (after getting badly hampered latest) and perhaps surprising given his exaggerated hold-up run style he hasn’t tried this trip before.

Today’s tip comes Windsor where KATEHARI looks a decent prospect for Andrew Balding. Improved on win in C&D fast-ground maiden last August when third in Goodwood nursery on final start. That represents some very solid form in the context of this race and should prove a tough proposition for her rivals today.
