Rest of the U.K. and Ireland

There is plenty more racing in the U.K. today, with a listed race, the Magnolia Stakes over 10 furlongs at 16.25 CET at Kempton´s all-weather meeting. However William Haggas fares at Doncaster, he should certainly win this with South Easter (Liam Jones), who was regarded as a classic contender a year ago, but has been off since Royal Ascot.. At anywhere near peak fitness he should see off his 5 rivals here, who are headed by perennial runner-up Suits Me (Tom Tate/ Darryll Holland). Holland also has good chances in the two traditional handicaps, the Rosebery over 11 furlongs at 15.50 on Mark Johnston´s Bcausewecan, and the Queens Prize over 2 miles at 18.40 on consistent Dance the Star.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Tiddliwinks - Elnawin - Son Of The Cat
2. Race: King Olav - Martyr - Becausewecan
3. Race: Suits Me - South Easter - Heliodor
4. Race: Takeaway - Johnny Hancocks - Jibouti
5. Race: Midfielder - Duellist - Highland Quaich
6. Race: Love Delta - Raddy `Ell Pauline - Kingdom Of Munster
7. Race: Alsadaa - Dance The Star - Silver Suitor




Thjere is a good jumping card at Newbury, with two listed handicaps for novice mares. The chase at 14.45 should go to top-weight Carole´s Legacy (Nicky Henderson/ Barry Geraghty). She was a good second to Quevega at Cheltenham, easily the best form in the race, but that was only last week. Henderson and Geraghty also have prospects in the hurdle race half an hour later with Kerada, unbeaten in 3 starts this season, but this looks wide open, and Queen Poline (Lucy Wadham/ Tony McCoy) could be the value alternative. Th ex-Baltromei group race performer Adelar (Venetia Williams/ Aidan Coleman) was an expensive flop on his British debut, but can possibly recover losses in the novice hurdle at 16.20.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Souter Point - Riptide - Theologist
2. Race: Carole`S Legacy - Calusa Crystal - Over Sixty
3. Race: Kerada - Banjaxed Girl - Topsham Belle
4. Race: Carrickmines - Qhilimar - Ballyfoy
5. Race: Osric - The Rainbow Hunter - Adelar
6. Race: Its Crucial - Mam Ratagan - Circus Of Dreams
7. Race: Kid Cassidy - Merehead - Pampelonne




Ruby Walsh is riding at Navan today and can land a treble for Willie Mullins on Glencove Marina in the main event at 18.05 (Rare Bob an obvious danger here), Gagewell Flyer at 15.50 and Lilywhite Dancer at 16.55.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Lobinstown Girl - Chasing Clouds - Emily Pankhurst
2. Race: Gagewell Flyer - Marlay Park - Lismakeery
3. Race: Shorecliffe King - Cantrell - Brosna Val
4. Race: Lilywhitedancer - Truckers Delight - Mighty Massini
5. Race: Macidoni - Rockers Field - All The Cousins
6. Race: Rare Bob - Glencove Marina - Watson Lake
