Uttoxeter (N.H.) and Roscommon (Ireland)

There is N.H. racing this evening at Uttoxeter, while Roscommon stages a mixed meeting (3 flat races, 3 over hurdles and a bumper). At Uttoxeter the much improved front-runner Advancement (Luke Corocran/ Timmy Murphy) can win his third race on the trot at 20.20 CET - Strong Survivor (Paul Webber/ Wayne Kennedy) looks the main threat- while William Butler (Evan Williams/ DPFahy) can follow up a very easy win at Market Rasen uner this jockey on Sunday by taking the conditional jockeys´ handicap chase at 21.20. In Ireland, Balliver (W.T.Farrell/ Colm O´Donoghue) in the 10 furlongs maiden at 20.00 looks the best bet in the 3 flat races after twice finishing fourth in better company. Over hurdles, K.F. O´Brien´s Stylish Article can win the maiden hurdle for 6yo´s and up at 21.30 with Ruby Walsh booked. He was beaten a short head last time out, but that was in December.
