N.H. racing this evening

The jumps racing this evening - at Towcester in England and Killarney in Ireland - is also very low grade. At Killarney there are the usual maximum fields, the exception being the conditions hurdle race at 19.50 CET, in which Sweeps Hill (John Kiely/ David Casey) should outclass the opposition. Casey can also take the handicap chase an hour later on Charlie Swan´s Oodachee, although this is a much more open event.

Two German-breds who could run well at Towcester are Vacario (Charlie Mann/ Richard Johnson) in the selling hurdle at 19.30, dropping in grade and best in at the weights, and Early Wings (Caroline Bailey/ Andrew Thornton) in the 3 mile handicap chase at 20.00. However the latter, despite several places, has never won in the U:K. and keeps going up in the weights; a better win proposition is probably Yonder (Hughie Morrison/ Tom Scudamore) in the maiden hurdle at 19.00.
