Catterick, Kempton (a.w.), Newmarket and Tramore (Ireland N.H.) this evening

Frankie Dettori is riding at Kempton´s all-weather meeting this evening, and should win the mile handicap at 21.45 on Godolphin´s progressive Musleh, who is probably much better than this grade. Saeed bin Suroor also saddles Bawadi in the 10 furlongs maiden at 19.40 and Damietta in the race for 2yo maiden fillies at 20.10 and they can also be expected to run well. Ted Durcan rides for Godolphin at Newmarket and has good prospects on Democrate in the 10 furlongs conditions race at 20.35, where Moon Sister (Willie Jarvis/ Alan Munro) looks the main danger. Munro also has chances in the fillies handicap half an hour later on Chris Wall´s Pyrrha, who like her main rival Glen Molly (Barry Hills/ Darryll Holland) won over CD last time out. Matk Johnston has runners all over today and can land a double at Catterick with Akbabend at 19.50 and Iron Velvet half an hour later, both partnered by Greg Fairley. The only Irish racing this evening is the N.H. fixture at Tramore, where Ruby W alsh has fancied rides in all 6 races open to him. Dani California, for Willie Mullins at 18.40, and Paramount for his father Ted at 20.50, are possibly his best chances.
