3 N.H.meetings today

3 more low level jumps meetings today, but at least there are some bigger fields, especially at Warwick. However only 3 run in the 4yo chase at 15.30 CET, although the winner is still difficult to find. Perhaps Tornade d´Estruval (Nicky Henderson/ Andrew Tinkler), a filly by Network and getting weight from the other two, can succeed here. Paul Nicholls also has possibilities in this race, but we think he has better prospects with The Pretender (Daryl Jacob) at 16.00. Henrietta Knight had a bad season in 2010-11 but things look brighter this time; her Loch Ba (Dominic Elsworth) was undeniably lucky to win last time - when the leader fell at the last - but can score again in the novices handicap chase at 15.30.

Donald McCain usually does well at Hexham, and it would not be a surprise to see him take the first two races there today with Chester Lad (Brian Harding) at 14.10 and Kings Grace (NAP) (Timmy Murphy) at 14.40. With the Ferdy Murphy stable now coming back into form, we also like Domoly (Graham Lee), raised 5 lb for winning over this CD 12 days ago, at 16.10.

There is also competitive racing at Fairyhouse in Ireland nad Ruby Walsh looks the man to follow. He has several very promising rides, including his father´s Rossvoss in the 3yo hurdle at 13.55, and Ceol Rua at 14.55 and Sous les Cieux an hour later, both for Willie Mullins. We also hope to see German-bred Der Spieler (JG Coogan/ Barry Cash) come back to form in the 2 mile hurdle race at 14.25.
