One trainer, one jockey, one horse and one race to watch on Monday

Trainer

Chris Dwyer saddles his first runner in over two years when Global Warning does duty in the Heed Your Hunch At Betway Handicap (6.05) at Newcastle.

The veteran has been tempted out of retirement to front Global Group Racing, a boutique operation that has been set up by Hong Kong owner Johnny Hon.

The group are operating out of the 23-box Albert House Stables in Newmarket, a yard for which Hon paid over £1 million last summer.

Formerly with Ed Dunlop, Global Warning has a bit to find on form with some of his 13 rivals but should not be disgraced.

Jockey

Champion jockey Brian Hughes will no doubt be popular with the 800 or so locals that are to be allowed in at Catterick.

The track lies in North Yorkshire which remains in Tier 2 following the latest review of the Coronavirus restrictions last week.

Tickets for the fixture, which will be the first to admit the general public in Britain since Huntingdon on December 22, sold out in under 24 hours.

Hughes has five mounts on the seven-race card, the pick of which is fencing debutant Tortuga Bay in the 12.55.

Horse

There may be no Apple's Jade in the Leopardstown Christmas Hurdle (1.15) this year but her former stablemate Sire Du Berlais has been put by for this since taking the Grade 2 Lismullen Hurdle at Navan last month.

The two-time Pertemps Hurdle Final winner will set up a third successive trip to Cheltenham next March if he can oblige.

Race

The Grade 1 Savills Chase (2.25) at Leopardstown is as competitive as ever and features two previous winners and a host of Cheltenham Festival winners including Minella Indo, who bids to take his unbeaten run over fences to three.

There are some old heads in opposition however, not least last year's winner Delta Work who is entitled to come on significantly for his comeback fifth last month.
