To York where son of Lucky Story aims for a win at today's big meeting

Caranbola is a very interesting runner at York today in the 4.20.

Lucky Story is the "now" stallion of the season and this inexpensive purchase should go close in this event. There's good form in the book too, as the selection won a fair maiden at Ripon in fine style last time out when staying on stoutly to win. In addition to this, his conditioner is in fine form.

At present Caranbola is trading at [3.35] on the exchange.

Today's Selection:

York, 4.20, Caranbola, Win

Tuesday 13th May: Nick's looking for maiden form to work out at Southwell

Longevity looks to have a very solid chance at Southwell today in the 4.20.

The selection ran behind Moyenne Corniche last time out at Newbury finishing a very respectable fourth in what appears to be a very decent maiden. Today Longevity has only a couple of serious rivals in this race and I have backed him at his current price of [2.34] on the exchange which appears to be very fair.

Today's Selection:

Southwell, 4.20, Longevity, Win

Monday 12th May: Will Every Second count at Windsor races today?

Over at Windsor in the opener (5.55) I like the look of Every Second in what is a most interesting race.

At the first time of asking the selection ran very well to finish second to Missile Dodger at Bath, you could say he ran a winning race that day as the victor is clearly smart. At present Every Second is trading at [3.1] in the win market and should go very close in this contest.

Today's Selection:

Windsor, 5.55, Every Second, Win
