N.H.racing at Bangor and Market Rasen

there are two N.H. meetings today, this afternoon at Bangor and this evening at Market Rasen, with several leading jockeys dashing across country to ride at both fixtures. Best race at Bangor is the class 2 handicap hurdle over 2 miles 1 furlong at 17.15 CET, which looks a strong race for this track and has 12 runners, of which Little Lu (Alan Swinbank/ Brian Hughes), Southern Regent (Alan King/ Robert Thornton) and Distiller (Nigel Twiston-Davies/ Paddy Brennan) are all in excellent form. "Choc" Thornton and Brennan are also in action at Market Rasen, where they partner Cee Cee Rider (King) and Wild Tonto (Tim Vaughan) in the class 3 handicap hurdle at 21.10 and should both be involved in the finish again.
