There is also excellent jumps racing on view at Ascot, where the two Grade Two events are both over 2 miles 3 furlongs. The Ascot Hurdle at 15.35 has attracted a strong field. Lough Derg (David Pipe/ Richard Johnson) is an admirably tough campaigner, but faces a stiff task in giving weight to such as the unbeaten Zaynar (Nicky Henderson/ Andrew Tinkler) and Alan King´s pair Katchit (Robert Thornton)...

An interesting weekend with plenty of Festival 2010 clues at the Paddy Power Open and in Ireland. On Sunday Master Minded, although giving away 10lbs could only manage third behind Well Chief when odds on in the Connaught Chase.
