What's on this week: quality action under both codes at Kempton and Lingfield

Monday

Carlisle kicks the week off with a six-race hurdles card after the two chases which were previously scheduled were cancelled due to waterlogging. The highlight looks to be the 2m3½f handicap hurdle (3.55), where trainer-jockey John Dixon bids to make it four victories in a row for Captain Zebo.

After Lingfield lost its scheduled jumps meeting to the bad weather, an all-weather fixture has been introduced to replace it in the afternoon, while Kempton keep the Polytrack fans satisfied with an eight-race card in the evening.

Tuesday

With Taunton and Bangor already cancelled following the effects of Storm Dennis, it is up to Musselburgh and Punchestown to keep the show going over jumps.

It is the second time the Punchestown meeting has been rescheduled after being cancelled on Sunday, February 9 and Tuesday, February 11, and features the Grand National Trial (2.45), which could include 2018 Grand National runner-up Pleasant Company.

Southwell takes over for an evening of Fibresand fun, including a valuable 5f handicap (7.00).

Wednesday

There is more excitement from Punchestown with the Grade 3 Quevega Mares Hurdle (2.40) looking the highlight. Willie Mullins bids to win the 2m4f contest for the fifth consecutive year and has entered Laurina, who won it last year, and Stormy Ireland.

Relegate, the 2018 Champion Bumper winner, is also among the entries.

Afternoon jumps action also comes from Ludlow and Doncaster, while Newcastle supplies all-weather action with Kempton once again supplying the twilight meeting.

It's another action-packed day of racing with Huntingdon and Sedgefield staging jumps racing in Britain, while Thurles also hosts a seven-race card in Ireland.

Southwell caters for Flat fans in the afternoon before Chelmsford takes over in the evening.

Friday

The Devon National (4.20) at Exeter is the standout race on Friday with a host of runners entered to tackle the 3m6½f marathon including Dawson City, who has won the last two runnings of the contest.

A seven-race card is scheduled at Warwick, with Lingfield, Dundalk and Wolverhampton taking care of the day's all-weather instalment.

Saturday

There's plenty of big prizes on offer at Kempton with four Graded races on the card, including the Dovecote Novices' Hurdle (3.02) which has been won by Sire De Grugy, Irving and Global Citizen on their way to bigger things.

Newcastle stages the Vertem Eider Handicap Chase (2.45) with last year's winner Crosspark bidding for a repeat performance, while the Philip Hobbs-trained Rock The Kasbah looks to secure his first win of the season having gone close at Cheltenham and Taunton.

It's Winter Derby day (3.15) at Lingfield, with the King Power-owned Bangkok bidding to follow up his impressive victory last time in the trial, but he could face a stern test from Dubai Warrior and Global Giant.

Chepstow and Fairyhouse also stage racing over jumps, with evening all-weather action coming from Chelmsford.
