5 meetings again today

5 meetings again today, with 3 jumps cards this afternoon and this evening flat racing on the all-weather at Wolverhampton and Dundalk. For a change, the British card looks better than the Irish one. There are two hot-looking handicaps at Wolverhampton, over 6 furlongs at 19.10 CET and over 1 3/4 miles at 20.40. Jamie Osborne just failed to bring off a huge coup at the Breeders Cup last weekend, but can strike with Amadeus Wolfe Tone (Tom Queally) in the former event; he is tremendously improved and has won 3 of his last 4 races, including over this CD a fortnight ago. The two big improvers in the stayers race are Godolphin´s Daaree (Saeed bin Suroor/ Graham Lee), who has won his last 3 races and is 2/2 here, and German-bred Norab (Marco Botti/ Luke Morris), a half-brother by Galileo to German champion Night Magic.´Norab won over this CD a fortnight ago and we hope tjhat he can continue winning, now that the penny has finally dropped.
Over jumps, there are some small fields at Fontwell and Hexham and the quality is mainly poor, but Musselburgh has quite a decent card. Wyse Hill Teabags (Jim Goldie/ James Reveley) usually runs here and looks an each-way possibility in the 3 miles handicap hurdle at 15.00, but the best race is the handicap hurdle over 2 1/4 miles an hour later. Here again we like a German-bred, Broughton (John Ferguson/ Sam Twiston-Davies), at one time the sales topper at the BBAG Baden-Baden yearling sale. He won the Scottish Triumph here in February and has run since then in much better company. Goldie and Reveley have one of the main dangers here in Titus Bolt, a course specialist who won recently here on the flat.
