rest of U.K. and Ireland

there is also some competitive jumps racing from Wincanton and Leopardstown, as well as all-weather racing from Lingfield. The Wincanton Cup, a handicap chase over 3 miles1 1/2 furlongs at 14.35 CET, looks very open. German-bred Pretty Star (Venetia Williams/ William Biddick) is very consistent and could be involved, but Tarquinius (Charlie Mann/ Noel Fehily) and Mark the Book (Philip Hobbs/ Richard Johnson) appear the more likely winners. Hobbs and Johnson have another good chance in the following handicap hurdle with Volador, where another German-bred Fredo (Ian Williams/ Mike Murphy) could be the danger. The handicap chase at 16.00 could do to Amble Forge, from the in-form Tizzard stable.

Betting forecast Wincanton:
1. Race: Strategic Plan - The Rainbow Hunter - Mister Pous
2. Race: Tarquinius - Mark The Book - Fine By Me
3. Race: Volador - Badger Foot - Global Flyer
4. Race: Amble Forge - Magot De Grugy - Double Eagle
5. Race: Double Hit - Emergency Exit - Whatever Next
6. Race: Recif de Thaix - Vino Griego - Zazamix
