<br>Jonny,
I think you might be lonely at Sandown on the next Bank Holiday – that meeting has been dropped from the program.
The Henry II takes place the following evening, the Temple Stakes and the Brigadier Gerard two days later, also an evening meeting.

Certainly will – Day 2 of the Cartmel Festival<br>
<br>You took the words right out of my mouth! Likely to be there myself.
Yep, Sandown’s Monday meeting got moved to Carlisle, as there are usually two other Sandown meetings that week (as Alan mentioned) and the Monday one was proving the least economically viable.
Can’t imagine Carlisle is going to see them packing the stands with the Greatest Small Racecourse On God’s Green Earth in operation just down the road on the same day, though.

The 1st Monday in June is a Bank Holiday in Ireland but we don’t get one the last Monday in May.
i see you are a big cartmel fan graysonscolumn, it is a good day out, the only problem being you cant see anything and have to watch it on tv until the home straight. but for a setting its grand.<br>hexham is very good also.
That’s an understatement, Jonny – Whit Monday will represent my 15th trip to the course so far this century! I think most people who go to Cartmel know that the viewing is not the greatest (still better than a couple of point-to-points I’ve been to this season – hello, Hackwood Park!) and accept it as part of the quirky charm of the place, or else have come for the barbecues and sticky toffee pudding and aren’t too bothered.
I do love Hexham but don’t get up there half as often as I’d like – bit of a schlepp from deepest darkest Hertfordshire. I’ll have the card from there on ATR today and spend as much time drooling at the scenery as I will watching the horses.
