Musselburgh (N.H.), Lingfield (a.w.) and Wolverhampton (a.w.)

None of today´s 3 British meetings offer much in the way of quality racing, but the handicap hurdle at 15.20 CET at Musselburgh is quite a competitive event, in which German-bred First Stream (Howard Johnson/ Denis O´Regan), must hold a chance, despite being off the track since March. Natural Action (Peter Bowen/ David Devereux), who is going for a hat-trick, looks the main danger.

There are several Irish-trained runners here, and there could be a double for the raiders from across the Irish Sea with Dumitas (Colm McBratney/ Tony McCoy) in the maiden hurdle at 14.20 and Final Day (Gordon Elliott/ Jason Maguire) in the bumper at 16.20. There could also be Irish winners at Wolverhampton, where Eddie Ahern can land a double on Fandango Boy (JP Broderick), who can defy top weight in the 8 1/2 furlongs handicap at 17.40 after twice winning at Dundalk, and Dash Back (Ado McGuiness), who likes this track, in the 6 furlongs handicap at 18.10. t Limngfield, th Irish-bprn, but nglish-bsed trainers Richtrd Fahy and Pat ddery could be among th winners. The former runs two in the 7 furlongs claimer at 14.30 and on ratings they should dominate the race, while Eddery´s Hidden Glory (Robert Winston) looks a good thing in the 2yo maiden at 15.00. German-bred Mountain Forest (Hughie Morrison/ Steve Drowne) is only modest but has a very lenient rating and can take the 10 furlongs handicap at 16.30.
