Wetherby, Wincanton, Windsor and Clonmel this evening

Some of the jumps jockeys riding this afternoon at Newton Abbot make their way to Wincanton for the evening fixture there, and Ruby Walsh could be back on the winning track with Paul Nicholls´ pair Alfreds Tower at 19.40 CET and Art Trend at 20.15. There could well be som German-bred winners at this evenings jumps fixture at Wetherby: Nordwind is in excellent form and despite a double penalty can take the novice hurdle at 18.50, whil Moon Melody and Twist Bookie have chances at 19.55 and 20.25 respectively. At Windsor, very consistent Micks Dancer (Willi Muir/ Daragh O´Donohoe) should run well off bottom-weight in the 10 furlongs handicap at 21.30, and there is also a mixed meeting (3 flat races, 4 over jumps) from Clonmel in Ireland, with the usual large fields.
