Newbury's card on Saturday was run on bottomless ground with Tutti Quanti producing a tremendous weight carrying performance to blitz the field in the William Hill Hurdle.

Making all the running, Paul Nicholl...

The cancellation of the first day of the Dublin Racing Festival on Saturday has thrown things into confusion as far as the February Update is concerned.
