N.H. racing at Fontwell - Bangor off!

Rain now seems to be the main problem in the U.K. and Fontwell must survive another inspection before racing will be allowed to go ahead today. In any case the going will be heavy. Should racing be on, the novice chase over 2 3/4 miles at 14.30 CET is the most interesting event, despite having only 4 runners. Neither of the JP McManus runners Quantatitiveasing (Nicky Henderson/ Tony McCoy) and Straw Bear (Nick Gifford/ Liam Treadwell) has really lived up to expectations, but they could still dominate here. Henderson has another good chance with Prince du Beury (Andrew Tinkler) in the handicap chase at 16.30, where we are also interested in top-weight Commemoration Day (Gary and Josh Moore), who has been wth several different trainers in his career, including Christian von der Recke.
later: Bangor OFF following unexpected snow this morning.
