NO RACING today, but Monday is the due start-date for the first meeting at Newcastle.

Of course with no form to go on this season, this is always the most difficult time to have a wager, but we do know the yards that are traditionally associated with getting off the mark quickly.

That trainers’ list though is likely to be bigger this time around with the Classics and Royal Ascot just around the corner, so I think that we can take it for granted that most trainers will have their string fairly forward at the time of writing.
