Doncaster and Navan

there is also flat racing at Doncaster and N.H. racing from Navan in Ireland. he Grade 3 chase over 2 1/2 miles at 16.40 CET is the main event at the Irish track, and can go to The Railway Man (Arthir Moore/ Davy Russell), but the novice handicap chase at 17.50 is the most valuabel race on the card. The Mullins family hold strong cards here, with Tony saddling High Fidelitay, Willie Gilligans Hall and Arbor Supreme (both last-time-out winners) and Margaret Its a Ladys Deal. At Doncaster, the class 2 Doncaster Shield over 1 1/4 miles should concern chiefly Munsef (John Dunlop/ Jimmy Fortune) and Soapy Dager (Mark Johnston/ Joe Fanning), both proven group race performers. Peter Chapple-Hyan apparently fancies his Brave Prospector for one of the Guineas, in whic case he should have little dfficulty in winning the 3yo maiden at 15.35 with Alan Munro in the saddle.
