still 5 meetings left

even after the abandonment of Huntingdon, there ae still 5 meetings on today, two of them over jumps - at Doncaster and Ayr. Doncaster has the better card and most of the top jockeys will be riding there. AP McCoy and Barry Geraghty - both in action in Ireland yesterday- go head to head in several races, notably in the novice hurdle at 14.05 CET, where their mounts John Ferguson´s Buckwheat and Nicky Henderson´s Days of Heaven, both easy last-time.out winners, should dominate. We prefer Buckwheat, who was a listed winner on the flat for André Fabre and whose trainer continues to top form with these ex-flat runners over sticks. Geraghty can gain his revenge at 15.15, when Rebecca Curtis´Red devil Lads can hget the better of McCoy´s American legend (Jonjo O´Neill). Geraghty can also take the final maiden hurdle at 16.50 on Henderson´s Clondaw Banker, where McCoy rides Curtis´ Vintage Vinnie who looks the main denger.

Henderson can also be on the scorecard at Ayr; he sends just one runner to the Scottish track, Quiet Candid (Jerry McGrath) in the novice hurdle at 14.45 and he should be could enough. Another making the long journey to Ayr is N. Irish trainer Stuart Crawford, who has several runners; Fine Rightly (Davy Russell) in the novice handicap chase at 16.25 probably has the best chance.

The best race at today´s 3 all-weather tracks is the 7 furlongs handicap at 16.10 at Lingfield. This looks wide open, but obviously a.w. specialist Grey Mirage (Marco Botti/ Martin Harley) should be involved in the finish, but we just prefer the mare Fashion Line (Michael Bell/ Hayley Turner), runner-up over this CD a fortnight ago.
