4 low-level meetings today

There is not likely to be much high class racing in Britain and Ireland this week, with the big Christmas meetings coming up. The most interesting runner today, from the German point of view, is Val Mondo (Venetia Williams/ RT Dunne), who won the German St. Leger last year and runs in the maiden hurdle at 14.10 CET at Bangor.
At Plumpton, West Brit (Charlie Longsdon/ Felix de Giles), previously with Ed Dunlop, is another ex-flat horse who can make a winning debut over hurdles at 13.30, while half an hour later Cucumber Run (Nicky Henderson/ David Bass) should oblige at a very short price in the novice chase.

In Ireland there is an all-hurdles card at Navan on very testing ground. Jessica Harrington could land a double here with Jenari (Robbie Power) at 13.20 and German-bred Glamorous (KC Sexton) in the handicap an hour later.
