Slowfoot debut at Huntingdon

Evening racing on turf has finished in the U.K. for 2014, but are still some twilight meetings in Ireland, as for example today at Roscommon, where the first race starts at 17.45 CET. Four flat races are followed by two over hurdles and a bumper, and Willie Mullins could well land a double with Killer Crow (Emmet Mullins) - already an easy winner of two bumpers - in the maiden hurdle at 19.45, and Captain Carol in the bumper an hour later with son Paddy in the saddle. The maiden hurdle at 15.10 at Huntingdon is the most interesting race in England from the German point of view, as it sees the British debut of Slowfoot (Jim Best/ Tony McCoy), one of the best German stayers of recent years when trained by Markus Klug. He has not run since November and the distance of two miles and half a furlong will probably not play to his strength on this sharp track, but we still expect him to win here and we hope go on to better things. At Brighton, we like the well-bred Darting (Andrew Balding/ Oisin Murphy) in the 10 furlongs handicap at 17.00, and the trainer can possibly complete an across-the-card double with Scoppio del Carro (David Probert) at 15.10 at Leicester, although if Special Miss (Ali Brewer/ Jim Crowley) reappears under a penalty after her Sandown win on Saturday she would be hard to beat.
