Jumping stars are back!

Today´s N.H. programme is easily the best so far of the 2008-2009 season and several of the biggest jumping stars are back in actipn, notably Kauto Star, who makes his seasonal debut at Down Royal in N. Ireland. It could be a great day for his trainer Paul Nicholls, who also saddles fancied contenders in the big N.H. races at Wetherby and Ascot. It could also be a good day for German-breds, who have leading chances in several races, while on the flat front, Newmarket signs off for the year with a strong card featuring 3 listed events.
