"Star cast on show for hunter chase finale at Bangor"
Scott Burton brings news: 
 "ZARA PHILLIPS has her first runner under rules for seven years; Henrietta Knight makes her return to training; David Loder is back on a British track ten years after saddling his last winner- a Group 1 success- and Cheltenham Foxhunter joint favourite Teaforthree makes his seasonal debut.
 
"With a cast like that racegoers at Bangor today will have plenty of encouragement  to stay for the lucky last, the bet on your @

BANGOR TODAY
Look at the names challenging in this afternoon's  4.50:  Hunters Chase.
An interesting race. Clues: Who are the people behind some of these racehorses in training?
HISTORIC REFERENCE.
Page 51 Racing Post today.
Clues : Seventh and last race. 18 challengers over 2m4f+ Going? First Race 1.40pm.
Estimated to be 18 huge steeple chase fences to be cleared in this race, which adds a further separate perspective test for these horses challenging for this race, especially if the going is heavy, testing, soft in places.  The ground around the take off and landing side of each of these fences maybe the deciding factor in who eventually wins.
 
Bet on Your Mobile @Corbettsports Open Hunters' Chase (Class 6) for amateur riders. With a poor first prize stated to be £1,317.20.

"While last year's Grand National favourite Teaforthree and former high -class staying chaser Calgary Bay-representing Cheltenham Gold Cup- winner trainer Knight - are the most familiar equine names among the entries, there will be more than a few around the parade ring aiming to catch a glimpse of the Queen's granddaughter, as well as former crack Flat trainer Loder.

"Phillips saddles her second career runner under rules - her debut came at Cheltenham almost seven years ago - when Act Of Kanalise lined up under Tom David.

"A former smart performer on the Flat and over hurdles and fences with Mark Johnson and Richard Newland, Act Of Kanalisi has only recently  joined Phillips' team of point-to-pointers.

"Calgary Bay will be Knights first runner since she retired in 2012 and has himself been off the track since being pulled up in the Byrne Group Plate at the 2013 Cheltenham Festival.

"Rising temperatures have removed the threat posed to the fixture and clerk of the course Andrew Morris said: "Nobody can remember the last time we had 18 here in a hunters chase and nearly every horse has a story, it's pretty incredible. "
 WIN:

BBC1, 7.30 - 10.00pm
RT: " In this World Cup year there is bound to be more interest than usual in the Six Nations as the annual tournament gets under way at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Tonight's combatants are the two most successful countries in the competition's long history, dating back to its Home Nations Championship days each having won 26 titles. The teams may be even more fired up than usual in what will be seen as a World Cup curtain- raiser, as the two old foes have been drawn in the same pool - they will be meeting again at Twickenham in September.
