There are five horse racing meetings on Friday in the UK and Ireland as they go at Newbury, Doncaster, Lingfield, Newcastle and Dundalk.

The first race of the day is at Lingfield at 13:00, where there are seven races in total until the last at 16:25.

In that finale, in which Betfred are offering a free bet If your selection finishes second, Jaas Yard (2/1) is expected to contend after bouncing back to form last time out with a victory in a similar race here at the end of February, which put an end to a string of disappointing outings in Dundalk.

Newbury's meeting starts at 13:45 and there are seven races there too today, finishing up after the 17:05.

At Doncaster they get under way at 14:00 and run until the 17:20, in which Twoshotsoftequila (3/1) is likely to be in the mix for a race in which Betfred are again paying out on an extra place.

Twoshotsoftequila won a maiden at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and has been second twice since at Newcastle and then back at Sedgefield.

Rebecca Menzies' charge is back on an unchanged mark and will hope to get the better of his 13 rivals today.

The evening action on Friday comes from Newcastle (17:11-19:45) and Dundalk (16:55-20:30).

In the 19:30 at the Irish track, which is another of Betfred's designated 'Extra Place' races, paying four places, Acquiescent (13/2), who has three wins, two of which have been here, has every chance of following up in what looks like a competitive race.

Others to consider include No Ney Alexander (9/1) and Prisoner's Dilemma (6/1).
