U.K. racing today

Plenty of racing in the U.K. today, but nothing that remotely compares to the action in Ireland. Best race in Britain is the fillies listed race over 5 furlongs at 18.05 CET at Bath. 17 fillies line up and it will not be easy to find the winner, although Look Busy (Alan Berry/ Slade O´Hara) is just about best on ratings. Others for the short list are Starlit Sands (Sir Mark Prescott/ Seb Sanders), Sirens Song (Andrew Balding/ David Probert) and Speed Song (William Haggas/ Michael Hills). Two German-breds now dropping in grade into selling company are Corriolanus (Balding/ Probert) here at 15.45 and Polish Power (Stan Moore/ Liam Keniry) at 16.40 at his favourite track Lingfield, and both of them should be able to make a positive impression in this grade.
