Southwell (a.w.) Yarmouth and Killarney (Ireland) this evening

Killarney continues its 4 day mixed meeting this evening, and Aidan O´Brien can win the first 2 races with Francisco Goya and Red Rock Canyon, both with teenage son Joseph in the saddle; surprisingly for Ireland, there are only 4 runners in each race. Over jumps the best race is the novice chase over 2 3/4 miles at 21.30; German-bred Noble Prize (Dessie Hughes/ Roger Loughran) won well last time and must have good chances of following up here. The racing in Britain this evening is very poor, but Seb Sanders could be the jockey to follow at Southwell. He can score for his boss Sir Mark Prescott at 129.40 on Choral Festival and at 20.40 with Uncle Brit and also has chances with All the Nines for Mrs. Sanderson in the 6 furlongs handicap at 22.10. The runners in the 5 furlongs handicap at 20.20 at Yarmouth are mainly all-weather specialists; our fancy here is Guto (Bill Ratcliffe/ Kelly Harrison).
