Ayr, Catterick, Warwick and Bellewstown (Ireland)

Three flat meetings in the U.K. this afternoon as well as Bellewstown in Ireland, an early evening fixture which is now flat racing only; if conditions permit, tomorrow´s Bellewstown fixture will be N.H. The other Irish meeting, Killarney, itself a rearranged fxture, has been abandoned again.

Freddie Tylicki is in great form and can land a double at Catterick on Richard Fahey´s She´s in the Money in the 7 furlongs handicap at 16.50 CET, and Addison de Witt for Micky Hammond over 1 1/2 miles an hour later; both of them won last time out at Newcastle. At Ayr, where they will be running on the round course for the first time since the pile-up, Jim Goldie could be the trainer to follow and can win the 7 furlongs handicap at 16.10 with German-bred Daring Dream (Daniel Tudhope) and the mile handicap half an hour later with Stellite (Gary Bartley). Ex-Goldene Peitsche runner-up Santiago Atitlan runs in the latter race off a very lenient mark, but is probably best left alone until he shows he is back in form. At Warwick, Godolphin can continue their winning run with German-bred Marine Spirit (Ted Durcan) in the 2yo handicap at 15.30, while Lamh Albasser also has a chance in a tricky conditions race for juveniles at 17.00.

The most intersting event at Bellewstown from the German point of view is the amateur riders race over 1 3/4 miles at 20.45. Nina Carbnerry rides Sweet Wake here for Noel Meade. Sweet Wake won a Group Two at Baden-Baden in 2005, and was then sold to Ireland as a hurdler. He won his first two races but then rather lost his way. He has only run once in the past 2 years but if anywhere near form should make short work of this opposition, easily the best of which is useful hurdler Whatuthink (Oliver McKiernan/ Mr. MB O´Doherty).
