**STAR MEETING**
Newcastle (first race: 12.00)
With no Cheltenham, Newcastle hosts the best card of the day. The veterans go head-to-head in the 2m4f handicap chase (1.40), while Simply The Betts bids to follow up a recent Chepstow victory (2.50). Given the weather, Wetlands could be an appropriate winner of the concluding bumper (3.25).
Going Soft, heavy in places
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Charlie Snow Angel (1.40)

Southwell (12.50)
Going Heavy

Dundalk (5.15)
Going Good
