rest of today´s racing

apart from the top meetings at Haydock and the Curragh, there is plenty more good racing today, including listed races at Goodwood and York and some decent handicaps at Chester.
At Goodwood, John Dunlop, who trains nearby, could be the trainer to follow. He saddles Spanish Duke (Ted Durcan) in the 10 furlongs listed event at 16.20 CET. This smart handicapper is moving up in grade here but we think he could be up to the task. Al Zir (Saeed bin Suroor/ Frankie Dettori), 6th in last year´s Derby, and Class is Class (Sir Michael Stoute/ William Buick), who won this last year, provide the main opposition. Dunlop and Durcan also have a chance in the opening handicap over 1 172 miles with Harleston Times, disqualified from 2nd place
last time at Epsom, but here we prefer CD specialist Classic Vintage (Amanda Perrett/ Martin Dwyer).The other listed race is over 1 1/2 miles at 17.25 and our choice here is lightly-raced Jet Away (Henry Cecil/ Tom Queally), who holds Passion for Gold (Saeed bin Suroor/ Dettori) in their latest form together.
Dunlop can also score at York with Times Up (Eddie Ahern), another one moving up in class at 16.10. he is also moving up in distance, as his recent races have all been over 1 1/2 miles, while his few previous attempts at today´s trip of 1 3/4 miles have all ended in defeat. However he seems improved this season and we take him to beat Theology (Jeremy Noseda/ George Baker), who ran poorly last time but certainly stays the trip well enough. The 5 furlongs hamdiap her at 16.40 has 20 runers and looks wide open. Ancient Cross (Mick Easterby/ Graham Gibbons) won a similar race over this CD last week, but Johannes (Richard Fahey/ Lee Topliss) could reverse the form this time on better terms, while Waffle (David Barron/ Silvestre de Sousa), runner-up the last twice, also makes the short list.
Dr. Marwan Koukash is an owner who always likes winning at his local track Chester, and he has plenty of runners there today, including four in the 7 furlongs handicap at 17.00. Brae Hill (Fahey/ Barry McHugh) is possibly the form choice, but has an outside draw, always a big problem here, and we prefer Our Jonathan (Kevin Ryan/ Franny Norton); the obvious danger is super-consistent Norville (David Evans/ Cathy Gannon), who has won 5 races already this year and is still on the upgrade.
