Jumping at Exeter and Fontwell this afternoon, Perth this evening.

Lindy Lou (Alan Fleming/ Tony McCoy) can get favourite backers off to a good start at Exeter this afternoon in the mares novice hurdle at 15.20 CET and German-bred Passato (Jo Davis/ Danny Burton), an easy CD winner last week can follow up in the novices handicap hurdle half an hour later. Gary Moore and his son Jamie are usually the team to follow at Fontwell, and they can land a double with Cavallini, who fell at the first here last time after being heavily backed, in the beginners chase at 15.30, and Stance, a runner-up this CD last time, in the selling hurdle at 16.00. Irish trainer Gordon Elliott is always dangerous with his raids on Scottish tracks, and he has runners in 5 races at this evening´s meeting at Perth. Opatja at 19.30 and Wikaala half an hour later, both with Jason Maguire in the saddle, probably have the best chances.
