There's plenty of Waterford representation on the UK racing scene today.

Sean Houlihan, who is in a rich vein of form at the minute, takes two rides at Taunton.

He rides the Joe Tickle trained Mabela in the 1.20 before going for the 3.40 aboard the Linda Blackford trained Poets Reflection.

The six-year-old is only 3lb higher than she was when scoring at the track with Houlihan back in March.

Sean's talented younger brother Niall, who recently rode his first treble, goes aboard Glimpse of Gold at Fakenham.

The Sarah Humphrey trained ten year old is among the favourites for the 3.15 contest.

Fellow Dungarvan jockey Trevor Whelan is in the saddle twice in Nottingham.

He guides The Daley Express, trained by Roland Harris in the 3:23 - where they go off as second-favourites.

In the following race, Whelan rides for Roger Teal in the 3.55 - who was a winner in runs at Sandown and Newmarket earlier this year.

Tom Queally guides Ideal Guest and Think Trigger at Kempton.

Ideal Guest goes in the 5.15, trained by George Margarson - with Dungarvan trainer Denis Coakley blooding Iskaheen in the same race.

The 2-year-old makes a polytrack debut.

There's also plenty of Waterford interest in the weekend's UK racing - where action will peak at Down Royal.
