4 U.K. meetings today

there are 4 meetings in the U.K. today - Yarmouth and Southwell (all-weather) this afternoon, and Windsor and Uttoxeter (N.H.) this evening, but to be honest nothing spectacular at any of them. At Yarmouth, recent maiden winner Dukes Art (Jamie Toller/ Robert Havlin) moves up into handicap company with good chances at 17.00 CET, but may find course specialist Oh So Saucy (Chris Wall/ George Baker) too strong, while top-weight Filigree (Rae Guest/ William Carson) should go well in the 6 furlongs handicap half an hour later. Best betting race at Southwell is the 6 furlongs handicap at 17.15, but with Sir Mark Prescott having hit top form, it may not be necssary to look beyond his Florentia (Seb Sanders). An interesting runner here is the German-bred Sommersturm (Barney Curley/ Tom Queally) in the 1 1/2 mile handicap at 16.45. He was 4th in the Union-Rennen two years ago and then was later often used by Schlenderhan as a pacemaker. If anywhere near his old form, he would have a great chance here, but Barney Curley´s runners have mainly been performing badly. At Windsor this evening, Richard Hannon and Richard Hughes, who always do well at these meetings, look the team to follow. They can take the two 2yo races with Red Planet at 19.10 and Chocolate Cookie an hour later, and also have chances with Sister Clement in the 6 furlongs fillies handicap at 20.45; Hughes can round off a good evening by winning the mile maiden at 21.15 on Block Party for Roger Charlton. There are mainly large fields at this evening´s jumps meeting at Uttoxeter, the exception being the beginners chase at 20.20, which can go to Paul Nicholls´ R de Rien Sivola (Harry Skelton), who receives lots of weight from the other 4 runners. Sea Cliff (Jonjo O`Neill/ Tony McCoy) could be a danger, but will have to jump much better than he did last time.
