4 meetings this evening

plenty of racing this evening, with Epsom, Newbury and Redcar in the U.K. and Leopardstown in Ireland. The last-named track stages the best race, a listed event for 2yo´s at 20.30 CET. Only 5 runners here, including Mark Johnston´s Stentorian (Fran Berry) from Britain. Johnston always means business when he sends runners overseas, but on form he should not beat Aidan O´Brien´ s Zoffany (Seamus Heffernan), who, after winning his first two races in good style, was certainly not disgraced when 6th in the Coventry at Royal Ascot. Another likely winner here is Invincible Ash (Mike Halford/ Gary Carroll), who beat a huge field in good style at the Curragh at the weekend and should not be troubled to follow up in the fillies race over 6 furlongs at 19.30.
The most interesting event in England is the 7 furlongs conditions race at 20.35 at Newbury. The small field includes a Group One winner, Lord Shanakill (Henry Cecil/ Tom Queally), who ran well last time when 12th of 24 in the Golden Jubilee and should be better suited by this slightly longer trip. However we are not sure that he can concede 19lbs to the progressive 3yo´s Dafeef (Saeed bin Suroor/ Ted Durcan) and Yaa Wayl (Michael Jarvis/ Philip Robinson).
At Epsom, We Have a Dream (Willie Muir/ George Baker) can take the 6 furlongs handicap at 20.25. He was 4th over this CD on Derby Day and this opposition looks less demanding. We also like Lang Shining (Jamie Osborne/ Sophie Doyle) in the claiming race at 21.30 here. This one, previously group class for Sir Michael Stoute, finally came back to form when winning last week at Chester and can follow up here.
The first nurseries (2yo handicaps) of the year are run this evening at Redcar. These arw generally poor betting mediums, but for the record our tentative suggestions are Coconut Ice (Tom Dascombe/ Richard Kingscote) over 6 furlongs at 19.40 and Puddle Duck (Kevin Ryan/ Graham Gibbons) over 5 at 20.45.
