All times are UK and Irish local time.
| Racecourse | First race | Last race | Races | Reported going |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bangor-on-Dee | 12.30pm | 3.35pm | 7 | Good |
| Warwick | 12.50pm | 3.52pm | 7 | Good, good to soft in places on the chase course |

| Dundalk | 2.30pm | 5.32pm | 7 | Standard, Polytrack |
Watering has been reported at all three British venues. Warwick uses its inner hurdle line, while rail movements at the jumping meetings mean some races will be run over slightly longer or shorter distances than their advertised trips.
Bangor: Mighty Fleur faces a rise in class
The 1pm Yorton Mares’ Novices’ Chase, run in memory of Richard Aston, brings together eight runners over an extended two miles.
Mighty Fleur heads the published live betting at 11/4, with Jubilee Alpha close behind at 3/1. Sunset Marquesa was quoted at 5/1, ahead of Siog Geal at 11/2.
Mighty Fleur brings chasing experience and recent race fitness to the contest as she steps into Listed company. Jubilee Alpha’s hurdle ability makes her a significant opponent, while the prices suggest there is little room for error among the leading contenders.
Bangor also stages the 1.30pm Weatherbys & Birdie Calendars Handicap Chase, a Class 2 contest over three miles. The afternoon closes with another Class 2 race, the 3.35pm handicap hurdle over an extended two miles and three furlongs.
Ayr: Attin and Jet Of Stars meet over hurdles
The 1.40pm novices’ hurdle provides one of the afternoon’s more interesting clashes, with Attin and Jet Of Stars prominent in the market.
Nicky Richards-trained Attin was available at 8/11 with Sky Bet, with Danny McMenamin booked to ride. Jet Of Stars, representing Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore, was quoted at 11/8 under Brian Hughes.
Both are five-year-olds, and their position at the head of the betting gives this two-mile race an obvious focus. Moon Reign, already a hurdle winner and carrying a penalty, is another to consider when assessing the opposition.
Ayr begins at 1.10pm with a three-runner beginners’ chase over an extended two miles and four furlongs. Jeriko Du Reponet and Stride On were both quoted at 11/10 in the published prices, underlining how closely matched the market considers the leading pair.
Warwick: Murphy pair dominate the novice hurdle market
Kefir d’Oudairies leads the betting for Warwick’s 1.20pm FCN Novices’ Hurdle, with even money available during research.
Olly Murphy also trains the principal market rival, Largy Force, quoted at 11/8. Gavin Sheehan partners Kefir d’Oudairies, while Kevin Brogan rides Largy Force in the two-mile-five-furlong contest.
Dylans Moon has been declared a non-runner, leaving four runners. The latest ground report distinguishes between the hurdle and chase courses, with good to soft patches reported on the latter.
Dundalk extends the afternoon on the all-weather
Dundalk’s seven-race programme begins with a five-furlong handicap at 2.30pm.
In the 3.30pm Irishinjuredjockeys.com Claiming Race, Justenzia heads the published market. Prices included 15/8, although there was appreciable variation between firms. Shoot To Kill and Star Strewn are among the opposition in the one-mile contest.
The final race, the Now Racing Every Wednesday Dundalk Handicap, is scheduled for 5.32pm.
