dailyrecord.co.uk:

It’s Friday and we have plenty of betting action to get you through to the weekend with live racing from Newbury, Doncaster and Lingfield in the afternoon, with Newcastle racing on the all-weather tonight.

There are now just 11 days until the Cheltenhamm Festival begins and we’re getting super-excited! One of the most eye-catching runners is at Newbury where Royal Ascot scorer Coeur De Lion attempts to win a competitive staying handicap hurdle (4:05) for Alan King, ahead of the progressive Guerlain De Vaux of Oliver Sherwood’s yard.

Earlier on, two smart novices collide in the hurdle at 3:30, with Paul Nicholls - who had a double at Taunton yesterday - pitting Gellino Bello against Fergal O’Brien’s smart former bumper horse Peking Rose, runner-up at the Aintree Festival last year.At Doncaster, it’s about the girls with Anthony Honeyball’s improving mare Midnight Castillo - who smashed an Exeter field by 20 lengths last time out - returning 2:30 and Olly Murphy’s progressive novice Corey’s Cottage putting her unbeaten run on the line at 4:15.Champion jockey Brian Hughes has three rides here, notably teaming up again with recent winner The Unit in the handicap chase (3:40)We’ll also have all the latest announcements from the Festival build-up with Gordon Elliott suggesting yesterday Tiger Roll could land his fourth cross-country chase even if only 80 per cent of the horse he used to be.

We’d love to see it! We'll be here for every furlong and you can follow all the action as well as the latest odds, gossip, tips from Garry Owen and horse racing results right here in our LIVE blog.
