N.H. racng at Doncaster, Kelso and Navan (Ireland)

Main feature at Doncaster is the 3 1/4 mile chase at 16.25 CET, where the field includes Grand National winner Comply or Die (David Pipe/ Timmy Murphy), who however only runs if the ground is not too firm. Noir et Vert (Ferdy Mirphy/ Graham Lee), very unlucky last time, is the obvious danger, together with Ungaro (Keith and James Reveley) and Alderburn (Henry Daly/ Adrian Tinkler) - second and third in this last year. The bumper for 4-5yo´s at 1.00 is a valuable event, but the field of 18 comprises 6 debutants and 12 maidens! Ludor (Alan King/ Wayne Hutchinson), Millers Dawn (Henrietta Knight/ Dominic Elsworth) and Nodforms Violent (Karen McClintioc Graham Lee) have all shown ability and could be the main factors. Otherwise, an each-way bet on German-bred Early Wings (Caroline Bailey/ Andrew Thornton) in the opening novices handicap hurdle at 14.50 is recommended. There could also be a German-bred winner at Kelso as Wendel (Charlie Mann/ Noel Fehily) should take the main fea ture. a Grade Two novice hurdle at 17.10; he has won 3 of his 4 starts in Britain and holds main danger Alfie Flits (Alan Swinbank/ Brian Hughes) on earlier form. There are only 4 runners in the 2 3/4 mile chase at 16.35 and on ratings Cloudy Lane (Donald McCain/ Jason Maguire), a leading Grand National fancy, stands out by miles; Money Trix (Nicky Richards/ Noel Fehily) looks nailed on for second, although the trip is on the short side for both of them. At Navan the best race is the 3 miles novice chase at 16.50, which probably lies between Rare Bob (Dessie Hughes/ Paddy Flood) and Equus Maximus (Willie Mullins/ Paul Townend).Mullins can also take the last 2 races with Captain Conflict (Townend) and Alexander Seaview (Patrick Mullins).
