WELCOME to Racing Ahead: Action heating up

THE weather has warmed after the icy January start – and the track action is heating up too. We’re off to a flying start with the big hitters at Leopardstown and into the major build up to next month’s Festival action in the Cotswolds.

Hopefully there’s a few bob to be made to supplement the heating bills and our tipsters aim to help warm readers’ hearts with another string of hot horses.

Paul Ferguson offers his view of the best fancies readying up, Paul Jacobs pitches in with his shrewd view and Andy Ayres reviews the form horses shaping up for glory bids.

Ben Morgan brings an amateur punter’s insight as he narrows down his Festival selections before revealing his top picks for the big event in next month’s issue.

Nick Townsend highlights the winning surge prompting super-hot jockey Ben Jones’ beaming smiles in a riveting interview, while the priceless experience of columnists Rolf Johnson and Robert Cooper keeps us on our toes.

There’s much more too – so, without further ado, please read on . . .
