Sunday racing in Britain and Ireland

we are used to low-level racing in the U.K.on Sundays, as is the case again today, but even Ireland offers very little decent sport today. None of today´s 5 meetings (flat racing at Ripon and Navan, over jumps at Market Rasen, Stratford and Limerick) has a single good quality event. There are of course some good betting opportunities.
One could start by following AP McCoy at Stratford, where he has mounts in 6 of the 7 races, and should certainly score on Paul Nicholls´ Classic Swain in the novice chase at 15.50 CET- off since October, but the best horse in the small field- and Nicky Henderson´s Super Kenny in the novice hurdle at 17.20 - no chance in a group race at Aintree, but this looks far easier. It would be no surprise were McCoy to win some of the other races as well.
The team to follow at Market Rasen could be trainer Donald McCain and stable jockey Jason Maguire, who can currently do no wrong. They can take the opening maiden hurdle at 15.00 with Al Qeddaaf, and also the handicap chase at 16.30 with Our Jim, although this is a very open event.
There are the usual huge fields at the Irish N.H. meeting at Limerick. The smallest field is for the best race - the 2 1/2 mile hurdle race at 16.25. Cuan Na Grai (Paul Nolan/ Aidan Cawley) won over fences at the big Punchestown meeting, but is also good enough over sticks to win this.
On the flat, we expect Richard Fahey and Paul Hanagan to continue on their winning ways with Elusive Sue and Sunnyside Tom in the two best handicaps at 16.10 and 16.40 at Ripon, while Bachelor Knight at 15.40 and Jack o´Lantern at 17.40 are also possible winners for the duo.
With Aidan O´Brien coming back into form, as it seems, he can land a double at Navan, courtesy of well-bred newcomer Scottish Reel in the 3yo maiden at 16.15 and Encompassing in the mile race at 18.15, both partnered by stable jockey Johnny Murtagh. There are no problems with Dermot Weld´s stable form and he can also land a double with Catalpa Sail at 15.45 and Crazy Days at 17.45 with Pat Smullen in the saddle.
