IT was, as could be expected, a quiet time in Irish and British racing outside the main meetings at Naas and Sandown, though there were a few other performances of note.

Wincanton’s card last Saturday featured useful winning handicap performances from Molineaux (130 timefigure), Sir Ivan (122 timefigure boosted to 136 on sectionals) and Gala Ball (mere 103 timefigure).
