Tonight's action: three runners who catch the eye

All the action tonight is in one place on At The Races, which screens Flat racing from Chepstow and Killarney along with Southwell's jumps fixture. Here are three horses to keep an eye on
Fresh from recording a half-century of winners for the fourth jumps season running, Warren Greatrex has an intriguing runner on the Flat in Bailarico, who won a point-to-point at Barbury in January. But don't be fooled the five-year-old is some slow old boat as he was bred by Darley and ran twice on the Flat for Charlie Appleby before moving on. Greatrex is expecting a positive performance from the son of Dubawi, who will be ridden by the red-hot Richard Kingscote.
Not many hotter duos than the Skelton brothers Dan and Harry, the trainer-jockey dream team who combine with Notnow Seamus. Off for nearly a year, the seven-year-old, picked up for just £7,000, has had three starts over hurdles and should have more to offer on his first start for new connections, who have applied a tongue-tie and hood. He was a non-runner at Worcester recently but shouldn't lack for fitness.
Everyone knows what an outstanding jumps trainer Willie Mullins is, but he's pretty handy on the Flat too as triumphs in the Irish St Leger, Ebor and at Royal Ascot prove. In Law Girl, he has claims of winning the closing contest at Killarney. A daughter of Lawman, the five-year-old has been off since October and lost her way over hurdles, but her Flat form in France entitles her to be in the mix and champion jockey Colin Keane takes the ride for Mullins, whose yard continues to go well.
