Brighton, Southwell and Worcester

A typical Sunday in the U.K., that is mediocre racing at 3 tracks, Brighton and Southwell (all-weather) on the flat and Worcester over jumps. At Brighton, German-bred Napoletano (Simon Dow/ Steve Drowne), who needs to come late off a strong pace, may find conditions just right in the class 5 handicap over 7 furlongs at 16.00 CET. Another German-bred with winning possibilities is Limonia, who made all to win over 6 furlongs at Southwell on Tuesday and can repeat this win over the same CD at 17.10. At Worcester, Jupon Vert (Ron Hodges/ Aidan Coleman), who ended a long losing run at Taunton a fortnight ago, can score again, despite a raise of 11lbs in the weights, in the 2 mile handicap chase at 16.50.
