There is Irish interest cross-channel today with four runners making the journey for engagements in the north of England.
In the 3.35 at Catterick, the Racing Again 19th December Intermediate Open National Hunt Flat Race Stuart Crawford runs Cadougarde (didn't complete in a couple of point-to-points) and Conor O'Farrell takes the mount.
Meanwhile at Newcastle Guiding Star goes in the 5.45 for Patrick McKenna.
An hour later Darkolva (Justin Carty-owned, Jimmy Quinn-ridden favourite) goes into battle in the 6.45 for Joseph O'Brien.
Coto rounds things off for the Irish. Matty Tynan's charge is a runner in the 7.15.
