International Flair on the Racing Scene: A Trio of Thrilling Meetings at Uttoxeter, Auteuil, and Sha Tin
Saturday's racing card boasts an exciting international flavour, with live coverage from three captivating venues: Uttoxeter, Auteuil, and Sha Tin. The racing action promises to be a thrilling spectacle, showcasing some of the world's top jockeys and trainers.
Over at Uttoxeter, Aworkinprogress is set to make his highly-anticipated return to fences in the Birrificio Angelo Poretti Handicap Chase (1.17). This six-year-old, trained by Nick Gifford, has been on an impressive upward trajectory, with a staggering 25-pound rise in weight from his debut start at Newton Abbot. As he takes on this tougher assignment, it's hard to see him being denied another victory.
In contrast, Passing Kate (1.52) is the horse to beat in the Eaton Hall Shooting Ground Mares' Handicap Chase. Matt Shepherd's talented mare has been in excellent form since tackling fences and now drops back in distance for her return from a 266-day break. This will be a fascinating test of her abilities as she takes on Blacksamssenorita, who heads into this handicap debut with a strong reputation.
A highlight of the Auteuil meeting is undoubtedly the Grade One Prix Serge Landon - Grand Prix d'Automne (2:50). Losange Bleu headlines this prestigious event and should prove tough to beat, following his impressive display here last month. The Auteuil card also stages two Group Twos, adding an extra layer of prestige to the racing action.
Meanwhile, at Sha Tin, the focus is on Queenofthejukebox in the Carlsberg Britvic Mares' 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (12:42). This talented five-year-old made a successful start to her season, winning two bumper races and finishing a solid fifth in Listed company. As she takes on her hurdling debut under Brendan Powell, there's no reason to doubt her potential for success.
Finally, at Uttoxeter, Jasmine d'Airy (2:27) is the one to watch after producing a career-best performance at Plumpton last time out. Her seasonal reappearance looks like a shoo-in, and Rathkenny (3:37) could also be a dark horse in the Point-to-Point recruitment stakes.
All in all, this international racing meeting promises to deliver an exciting day of action, with many talented horses and jockeys set to showcase their abilities.
