N.H. racing today

Jumping fans are well catered for today, with N.H. racing this afternoon at Market Rasen and this evening at Aintree and Clonmel (Ireland). At Market Rasen, Georgian King (Alan King/ Robert Thornton), who was an odds-on shot when falling last time at Uttoxeter, will be at very short odds again in the novice hurdle over 2 3/4 miles at 16.00 CET, but if he stays on his feet should outclass this opposition. The class 3 handicap hurdle at 3.35 by contrast looks very open, but it may be best to stick with the progressive That Look (Derek Cantillon, Michael Murphy), winner of 6 of his 10 N.H. starts, including the last two, both wth this jockey on board. At Aintree, Chickapeakray (Donald McCain/ Jason Maguire) reverts to hurdling after some decent but unsuccessful efforts over fences and can perhaps take the 3 mils handicap at 20.10. The 2 mile handicap chase at 20.45 featurews several in-form cahsers, but top-weight Ormello (Lucinda Russell/ Peter Buchanana) is the class act here and can win again. In Ireland there could be some German-bred winners: Lugato and Maturus Ardor could well have the maiden hurdle over 2 1/2 miles at 18.45 to themselves, while Aspolan has obvious proects in the maiden hurdle for 5yo´s half an hour later.
