N.H. racing at Utoxeter, Wincanton and Gowran Park (Ireland)

The three other N.H. meetings also have abive average cards, and pride of place goes to te Kingwell Hurdle at 15.50 CET at Wincanton, an important Champion Hurdle trial. Punjabi (Nicky Hemnderson/ Barry Geraghty) and Songe (Charlie Longsdon/ Tom Siddall) are the best on ratings here, but it is not certain that they can give weight to such smart performers as Ashkazar (David Pipe/ Timmy Murphy) and Takeroc (Paul Nicholls/ Christian Williams), while Whiteoak (Donald McCain/ Jason Maguire) could be the jokerbin the pack despite a long lay-off.

In Ireland, Gowra Park had two Grade Twi races on the card. The 2 1/2 mile chase at 15.10 should go to Glenfinn Captain (To,m Taaffe/ Mark walsh), very unlucky last time, who can defeat the oldtimers Watson Lake (Noel Meade/ Paul Carberry) and Central House (Dessie Hughes/ Paddy Flood). The 2 mile hurdle race at 16.40 should mainly concern Clopf (Edward O´Grady/ Andrew McNamara) and German-bred Jazz Messenger (Noel Meade/ Paul Carberry), but the most interesting runner of therday for the Meade/ Carberry combination is Nicanor, whi has been off the track for 3 years - since inflicting defeat on Denman at Cheltenham in 2006- and now reappears in the beginners chase at 16.10.

Best race at Uttoexeter is the 2 mile handicap chase at 15.50; Marodima (Rebecca Curtis/ Rhys Flint) is the class act here, but has a huge weight to shoulder, and Tidal Fury (Howard Johnson/ Graham Lee!), in receipt of 24 lbs, looks a big danger.
