3 all-weather meetings today

There is all-weather racing this afternoon at Lingfield and this evening at Wolverhampton,while it is pleasing to see the Irish a.w. track Dundalk open its doors for 2011, with maximum fields in most races. Mark Johnston and Kevin Ryan both come over from Yorkshire and we expecteto see the former take the 3yo handicap at 20.00 CET with Old England (Joe Fanning), an easy winner at Lingfield a week ago. Tommy Stack as usual has started the season with a bang and can win the 3yo maiden at 21.00 with Miss Fairbanks (Willie Lee), but his other runner Pivotal Rock will need to show considerable improvement to defeat Barrow Island (Mike Halford/ Gary Carroll) in the maiden for older horses at 21.30. An interesting debutant in this event is the well-bred Gold Mirage (Jim Bolger/ Kevin Manning). The British all-weather races are much lower grade, but Norville (David Evans/ Cathy Gannon) can possibly make it 4 CD wins from his last 5 starts at 17.10 at Lingfield, while consistent Sir Geoffrey (David Nicholls/ Ian Mongan) can defy top-weight in the 5 furlongs handicap at 21.15 at Wolverhampton.
