Greaneteen won the Haldon Gold Cup.

There is no all-weather racing in Britain for over a week. Monday's action is on the all weather with a card at Kempton headlined by the Listed Hyde Stakes (5.15). It features five runners, including three last-time-out winners and Cash, who was last seen finishing second to subsequent Irish Derby winner Westover at Sandown in April. There is also afternoon jumping from Catterick and evening allweather race at Wolverhampton.

There are five meetings across Britain and Ireland on Tuesday. Punchestown has the highest number of runners in the William Hill Epic Value Hurdle (1.55). Chester Cup winner Falcon Eight is the class act. Lingfield has an early start at 11.40. Wolverhampton, Ayr, and Southwell also have fixtures.

Tingle Creek, Lingfield, Dundalk and Kempton are all-weather fixtures on Wednesday. Godolphin could be well represented by Siskany and Wild Crusade. Henry Daly has had eight winners in November and he could have up to six runners at Ludlow. Blaklion and Cheltenham Festival winners Chambard and Coo Star Sivola are among the entries in the veterans' chase qualifier at Haydock. Albert Bartlett fourth Ballygrifincottage could make his debut over fences earlier on the card.

The highlight over jumps is the Listed Equuip Foal To RACE Transition Year Programme Chase in Ireland (1.32). Mullins and Elliott dominate the entries with nine of the 14 contenders between them. Gavin Cromwell-trained Vanillier and Darasso from the Joseph O'Brien stable add further depth to the contest.

Henri The Second and Knowsley Road entered in the Ballymore Winter Novices' Hurdle at Sandown. Maximilian, Man At Work and Chianti Classico could all be involved. Gelino Bello could be in action at Exeter.

The Betfair Tingle Creek Chase (2.55) is a winter highlight. Greaneteen posted a career-best performance on Racing Post Ratings last time. Shishkin, Edwardstone and Henry VIII Novices' Chase are also on the Sandown card. Up at Aintree, the BoyleSports Becher Handicap Chase takes centre stage over the National fences.

The second day of Fairyhouse's winter festival features three Grade 1 races. Honeysuckle is set to make her return in the Hatton's Grace Hurdle.
