Newcastle, Wetherby and Punchestown

The evening racing at Newcastle (flat), Wetherby and Punchestown in Ireland (both N.H.) pales into insignificance compared to the sport on offer at Sandown, but there are still some interesting races, At Newcastle, Sir Michael Stoute´s Crystal Capella (Tom Eaves), runner-up on both her starts so far, should win the 10 furloingd race fotr maiden fillies at 20.35 CET, while Inter Vision (Allan Dickman/ Daniel Tudhope) makes anothet quick reappearance in the 6 furlongs handicap at 21.40 after winning twice last week; however he seems held on Thirsk form 12 days ago by High Curragh (Kevin Ryan/ Fergal Lynch). At Wetherby, David Pipe´s Fourty Acers (Tom Scuamore) stands out in the 3 mile novice hurdle at 20.25, but the handicap hurdle at 21.30 looks trickier. Tayman (Carl Llewellyn/ Noel Fehily) carries a 7lbs penalty for a very easy win last week, while Lawaaheb (Matt Gingell/ Denis O´Regan) is a course specialist and can be preferred on this occasion.
