Only 2 N.H.meetings in UK today

With Redcar abandoned following the heavy rain of the last 2 days, there are only 2 meetings in the U.K. today, both over jumps. Tony McCoy showed again yesterday why he is the champion jumps jockey and should shine again today at Newton Abbot, where he has fancied rides in all 5 races over obstacles. His best chances are probably Sizing Asia at 15.30 CET and Rippling Ring at 17.0, both for Paul Nicholls, but Fongoli can win the 3yo hurdl at 15.00 for Brndan Powell, while Benetwood and Olay Olay have good prospects in the handicaps at 16.00 and 16.30. McCoy has in fact already won 7 times on Vic Dartnall´s Benetwood, while Olay Olay is traind by his principal employer Jonjo O´Neill. Paul Nicholls should also be in the winners circle at Stratford, where Classic Swain (Christian Williams), despite top weight, can outclass the opposition in the novice hurdle at 16.40. He has won 4 of his last 5 races, including this CD last time out by 10 lengths. Also at Stratford, Bathwick Man (David Pipe/ Johnny Farrelly) is moving up in distance but can complete a hat-trick in the opening handicap hurdle at 15.10.
