Dark Horse Publications (http://www.darkhorsepublications.com/) have very kindly offered to sponsor Nathan’s Aintree tipping competition. They’ve offered a great prize of a free five week subscription to their online weekly Dark Horse Preview.

Given the packed programme of racing in the months ahead – both over jumps and at the all-weather tracks – a high degree of selectivity is crucial if you want to make it pay.

That is precisely what the Preview’s team of widely experienced writers is here to do for you. Working through the dross, we identify the horses within our specialist areas of interest which will reward support – either in the near future or the longer term.

Also don’t forget that if, like me, you’re struggling for Aintree inspiration you can order Marten Julian’s online Aintree preview for £15.
