Well I was going to watch the England match .........................
Racing on Wednesday from Lingfield, Nottingham and Kempton on the flat, Wetherby and Punchestown over the jumps.
Richard Hughes might notch a winner at Lingfield
Morpheus runs at Nottingham
At Wetherby a nice NH card. Coolmore have a runner in the opening novice hurdle, McCoy taking the reins on Mississippi Blues and he will be a warm order to score on debut. In the 3.25 it's great to see Bothy back on the track and, still only 6, he can hopefully fulfill the promise of his previous runs, particularly his neck 2nd to Menorah in the Greatwood in 2010. The 3.55 is a cracker and features some nice handicappers such as Gansey, Pigeon Island and The Hollinwell, just don't ask me to pick the winner. McCoy can take leg 2 of the novices hurdle on Jonjo's Dursey Sound whilst the beignners chase looks at the mercy of African Broadway-
Over at Punchestown most visitors will be wondering whether Champagne Agent can finally break his duck - not for me. Mullins and Walsh should, however, be successful in the Grade 3 mares hurdle with Tarla, whose supporters will be hoping she can take this readily on her way to better things. In the beginners chase Mount Benbulben faces no less than 4 Gigginstown runners and will do well to prevail here, given his trainer expects him to need the run.
That's all.
