Sargie will be short but should score easily again at Star Pelaw

BALLYMAC SARGIE should make it four wins in five course and distance starts with victory in Star Pelaw's 8.34 over 590m.

Tom Heilbron's Stewards Cup champion was really impressive here on New Year's Day in a stronger contest than this and is likely to be priced accordingly but can justify the short odds.

First of the Star Pelaw opens is a 245m sprint at 7.04 which looks good for Glenn Foot's Dreamin Porcha with the local handler fancied to double up courtesy of Moanteen Pudding in the 7.42 over 590m.

Other non-maiden picks are Henry Young's Tromora Grace (7.58) and David Alcorn's Catch The Wind (8.16).

In Ireland, Cassie Be Good can double her career tally of victories by making the most of a drop in class to take Lifford's A8 over 525 yards at 6.52.

The sole win to date for William Mullan's bitch came on the only previous occasion she faced this level of opposition two outings ago when she flew late to get on top close home and a similar performance is on the cards against three of the same rivals.

Michael Corr's La Bronce (7.10) is another Lifford fancy and can complete a hat-trick which includes a Derry victory, while Joe Campbell's Home Oonagh (4.18) and Jim Moloney's Sadies Swift (6.56) are the respective picks at the Irish fixtures at Mullingar and Clonmel.

The early Sunday action comes from Doncaster and Valley with Debbie Calvert's veteran Favourite Place capable of overcoming an absence to land Donny's D2 sprint at 12.12, while Donna Davy's Bluejig Aoife (1.47) looks best on the card in south Wales.

Oxford made an early decision to cancel today's meeting de to an adverse overnight weather forecast.
