Newcastle and Limerick

Following the abandonments in Exeter and Leicester, today´s N.H. action comes from Newcastle and Limerick in Ireland. The in-form team of trainer Howard Johnson and jockey Denis O´Regan look set for a successful day at Newcastle, and it is quite conceivable that they could have four winners. Drever Route and Whisky Magic in the two divisions of the 2 mile novice hurdle at 14.20 CET and 14.55 respectively, Player in the novice handicap chase at 15.30 and Door Boy in the 2 1/2 mile novice hurdle at 16.05 are all expected to start favourite and irt would be surprising if a couple of them do not win. Howard Johnson and O´Regan also team up with the unraced Arty Farmer in the bumper at 17.15, and this one could be anything.

1.Race: Low Delta - Kinfayre Boy - Another Charmer
2.Race: Nelliedonethat - Mistral De La Cour - Dawn Ride
3.Race: Drever Route - Ockey De Neulliac - Mighty Moon
