rest of UK and Ireland

apart from the fixtures already mentioned, there is good racing this afternoon at Doncaster, but rather less inspiring sport this evening at Newbury and Lingfield. At Doncaster, 2 well-contested class 2 handicaps top the bill, and we expect Mister Hardy (Richard Fahey/ Jamie Moriarty) in the 7 furlongs event at 17.05 CET, and Falcativ (Luca Cumani/ Andrea Atzeni) over 1 1/2 miles at 17.40, both to complete four-timers. In Ireland, the jumps meeting at Listowel has been abandoned (track waterlogged), leaving Tramore the only racing today. The Aga Khan has 2 runners in the fillies maiden over 1 1/2 miles at 16.50, Sheridaniya (John Oxx/ Fran Berry) and Zafferana (Mike Halford/ Robbie Cleary), and they could well take the first 2 places.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Alrasm - Key Breeze - Big Audio
2. Race: Wind Star - Granston - Hevelius
3. Race: Proclaim - Saucy Brown - Akhenaten
4. Race: Mister Hardy - Decameron - Celtic Sultan
5. Race: Falcativ - Meethaaq - Dansili Dancer
6. Race: Billy Red - Luscivious - Peopleton Brook
7. Race: Salerosa - Silly Gilly - Betteras Bertie
