The final UK and Irish racing action of 2021 will take place on Friday, with meetings to come from Lingfield, Punchestown, Warwick and Uttoxeter.

Lingfield will be our first port of call, with the action on the all-weather in Surrey getting underway long before Big Ben is chiming and we are toasting to the New Year, as the eight-race jumps card will begin at 11:35 and conclude at 15:25.

It will also be a morning start for the final Irish meeting of the year, with Punchestown set to host seven races between 11:45-15:00, with Betfred providing their 'Extra Place' offer for the Handicap Chase at 12:15 and the 13:55 Handicap Hurdle.

There will also be a Betfred promotion available for the 14:30 Handicap Hurdle from Punchestown where the 'Super Extra Place' offer will come into play, meaning they will be paying out on six places.

Falcon Park (40/1) could be one to look out for in that one, as he drops back in trip for what will be his maiden run in the silks of owner Susan Hennessy.

Back on UK soil, and Warwick will take centre stage for a seven-race card from 12:00-15:15, with the opener benefiting from Betfred's 'Extra Place' promotion.

Benito (10/3) is likely to feature prominently for trainer Tom Lacey in that race, as he relishes the testing conditions and improved significantly when stepping up to 2m4f to finish third at Newcastle earlier this month.

Uttoxeter will be the final meeting to get underway, with a seven-race card due to take place at the Staffordshire track between 12:22-15:40, with Betfred providing plenty of promotional offers.

First, the 12:55 Handicap Hurdle will benefit from the 'Super Extra Place' promotion, while the 'Free Bet if 2nd' offer will come into play for the Handicap Chase at 13:30.

The 'Extra Place' promotion will also be available for the 15:07 Handicap Hurdle from Uttoxeter where Brooksway Fair (5/2) could take some beating after he scored over fences at Ffos Las on his most recent run in November.
