U.K. action today

othere is plenty of action in the U.K. today, with 3 flat meetings and four National Hunt, but none at a very high level. Prize-money at Yarmouth is lousy, but that has not stopped several of the top Newmarket stables having runners, including Sir Michael Stoute, John Gosden, Roger Varian and Michael Bell. Mahmood al Zarooni sends out four Godolphin runners and we would not be surprised to Frankie Dettori to land a hat-trick on Periphery at 15.25 CET, Grizzle at 17.10 and Zaeem at 17.45.
Best race at Warwick is the conditions event over 6 furlongs at 16.20. Mac´s Power (James Fanshawe/ Kieren Fallon) and New Planet (John Quinn/ Tom Queally) stand out on ratings here and should dominate the finish, with slight preference for the former.
At Redcar, the handicap over the straight mile at 16.45 is the main event. Aquarian Spirit (Richard Fahey/ Tony Hamilton) won it last year and could go close again, but we prefer 9yo CD specialist Collateral Damage (Tim Easterby/ David Allan).
Over jumps, there is a competitive hurdle handicap at 17.35 at Chepstow. Pantxoa (Alan King/ Wayne Hutchinson)is consistent but rarely wins, while lightly raced Oscar Davy (Philip Hobbs/ Richard Johnson) will probably start favourite after an easy win at Fontwell. We also give a chance to German-bred Salontyre (Bernard Llewellyn/ RJ Williams) and Numide (Rod Millman/ Paddy Brennan), who are less consistent but certainly capable enough on their day.
Sue Smith has hit form with a vengeance. and we expect her Daldini (Jonathan England) to run well off bottom-weight in the 3 mile handicap chase at 17.40 at Huntingdon. Ex-German The Lemonpie (Brendan Powell/ Stephen O´Donovan) is very modest, but connections have found what is possibly the weakest race of the day for him, the novice handicap hurdle at 17.50 at Plumpton, and he must have a chance in this very poor company.
