Newbury, Lingfield and Tramore

There is no N.H. racing today, not even at Irish Tramore, where there are 7 runners in the 3yo maiden over 1 3/4 miles at 15.50 CET, but the finish should be dominated by Sufad (Kevin Prendergast( Declan McDonogh) and Fine Design (David Wachman/ Fran Berry). JohnOxx´ Kharsya has run two respectable races and can win the filles´ maiden an hour later. Evening racing at Newbury and Lingfield, where the first 3 races are run on the all-weather and the last 3 on turf. Best bet there should be Harry Dunlop´s Classic Remark (Eddie Ahern) in the 10 furlongs maiden for 3yo´s at 19.35 (all-weather). At Newbury, the 6 furlongs maiden at 20.55 is the most interesting event; Storm Sir (Brian Meehan/ Richard Hughes) and Muhajaar (Luca Cumani/ Pat Cosgrave) showed promise last year but are both making their seasonal debut, so that John Dunlop´s Badweia (Richard Mullen) can be preferred.
