3 all-weather fixtures today

Plenty of action today for the fans of all-weather racing, with 7 races this afternoon at Lingfield, 8 this evening at Kempton and another 8 at Dundalk in Ireland. The Irish meeting has the best racing and a lot of interest will be focussed on the struggle for the Irish jockey´s championship, in which Pat Smullen currently leads with 88 winners from Fran Berry (83) and Johnny Murtagh (80), who is basically no longer a contender as he does not ride this evening, which is the penultimate fixture of the Irish season. The most valuable event is the mile handicap at 21.10 CET with a maximum field of 14. Smullen has an obvious chance here with Joanna Morgan´s Funatfuntasia, who has been repeatedly been placed here in similar races - without however ever actually winning. Top-weight Mojito Royale (Eoin Doyle/ Daniel Grant), Cochölear (Tommy Stack/ Wayne Lordan) and High Court Drama (Paul Deegan/ Kevin Manning) are all multiple CD winners and will make life difficult for him.

Betting forecast:
1.Race: Imco Tendence - Toberanthawn - Morrigan
2.Race: Playdate - Emily Dickinson - Palazzone
3.Race: Magic Mornings - Brazen Beauty - Spinone
4.Race: Pozyc - Northern Rocker - Way West

6.Race: If Per Chance - Vignelaure Rose - Opera Music

8.Race: Alhabeeb - Farinelli - Bobs Pride



At Kempton this evening, the best race is the 7 furlongs handicap at 21.50, also with a maximum field. Mister Ross (Gary Moore/ Fergus Sweeney) is the likely favourite hee, having won his last 2 races very easily, including at Lingfield, his only a.w. start so far. PerfectAct (Clive Cox/ Steve Drowne) was 3rd at Limgfield last time and also has to be respected, while old Dingaan (Andrew Balding(/ Liam Keniry) is long overdue for a win and is ideally suited by this CD.

Betting forecast:
1.Race: Smokey Ryder - Glamorous Spirit - The Magic Of Rio
2.Race: Choisharp - Maswerte - Tarruji
3.Race: Wing Play - Fantosha - Tender Process
4.Race: Kladester - True Britannia - Captain Walcot

There are only 4 runners in this afternoon´s class 3 conditions race for 2yo´s at Lingfield at 15.30. Invincible Heart (Jane Chapple-Hyam/ Pat Cosgrave) has been placed four times running and has the best rating, but Lexlenios (David Elsworth/ Marc Halford) won his only race in good style and is probably capable of more. The 6 furlongs handicap at 16.05 is miuch more open, but top-weight Internationaldebut (Steve Parr/ Adam Kirby) has an obvious chance afer his easy win over a furlong further here last week.

Betting forecast:
1.Race: Our Day Will Come - Madison Belle - Cool Art
2.Race: Kames Park - Rapid City - Obrigado
3.Race: Blessing - Spouk - Special Reserve
