Today's racing takes place at Cheltenham, Doncaster, and the all-weather Flat course Southwell, as well as Gowran Park in Ireland.

There is also evening racing at Wolverhampton (flat) and Greyville from South Africa. Cheltenham stages an attractive National Hunt programme featuring the Boylesports.com Handicap Chase over three miles, one furlong and 110 yards.

Sixteen starters have been declared and according to an article by Chris Wilson on the Sporting Life website, the 13-2 marginal favourite OVER THE CREEK looks the horse to beat.

According to the article, OVER THE CREEK was bandied around as a Welsh Grand National contender after an effortless victory at Hereford - but this listed pot should do rather nicely in the interim. He will hardly be affected by a five-pound penalty for that easy four-length victory over HENNESSY and he should also have conditions in his favour.

His two Cheltenham runs behind the ultra-smart IMPERIAL COM-MANDER also deserves a mention for he appeared to be crying out for this longer trip.
