rest of U.K. and Irish racing

the only race of note at Lingfield´s all-weather fixture is the listed event over 10 furlongs at 15.20, which with 13 runners looks as open as any handicap. An interesting runner here is the ex-German Lyssio (Mike Attwater/ Jean-Pierre Guillambert), who did not really run up to expectations for Peter Schiergen, but would have a chance on ratings here. However we would prefer to wait see how he settles down in the U.K. and how he handles the track. Our preference is for Suits Me (David Barron/ Micky Fenton), who usually runs well here.
It could be significant that David Pipe has sent his main jockey Tom Scudamore on the long journey to Newcastle, and hence we expect his old warrior Madison du Berlais to run much better over hurdles at 15.05 than he did over fences at Sandown last time. Our main hope here is Afsoun in the 2 mile handicap hurdle at 14.05.
Another ex-German runner today is Der Spieler (JG Coogan/ Niall Madden) in the beginners chase at 15.15 at Fairyhouse, He unseated his rider at the first last time, but that was a much better race and he must have a chance in this company.
Haydock has passed its inspection and racing goes ahead, but the ground will be testing and will probably be plenty of non-runners. Two valuable handicaps are the main features, over hurdle at 15.10 and a 3 mile chase at 15.45. Our fancy in the former event is Pateese (Philip Hobs Matt Griffiths) but th cha look tricky. Wymott /Doinald McCain/ Jason Maguire) was a respectable sixth in the Hennessy, and if he has got over that tough race is the selection here, but top-weight Cape Tribulation (Malcolm Jefferson/ Paddy Brennan) is just one of many dangers.
