SATURDAY’S racing is not a bad set-up when you consider the Boxing Day action to come on Tuesday.

I shall cover the latter at the end of this piece, but for this afternoon the main action takes places at Ascot, with the Grade One Long Walk Hurdle (2.25) the feature event.

The Stayers Hurdle category has a mixed bag look to it at the moment, with only Teahupoo having made his mark on the event at Cheltenham in March — having won the Hatton’s Grace Hurdle for a second year running.
