Saturday's racing bulletin

The Five Live selection is Maraahel in the 1455 at Nad al Sheba (all times GMT).

American-trained horses have won four of the nine runnings of the Dubai World Cup and they have four representatives in Saturday's main event.

Roses in May looks the best of the quartet and would only need to repeat his second to Ghostzapper in the Breeders Cup Classic to win.

The sole British challenger, Jack Sullivan, is reported to be in good form by his trainer Gerrard Butler, while Frankie Dettori is now without a ride in the race following the withdrawal of Grand Hombre.

The 12 runners are racing for a first prize of £2m.

Sir Michael Stoute's Maraahel has been really impressing in workouts and looks a good bet in the Dubai Sheema Classic at 1455.

Racing throughout the day also comes from Kempton Park, Wolverhampton, Newton Abbot, Carlisle and Haydock Park.

It is the first day of the turf flat-race season at Kempton, where the feature race is the Easter Stakes at 1450.

Trainer Richard Hannon has an excellent record in the race and his Kings Quay looks the one they all have to beat. The ground is described by clerk of the course Brian Clifford as good to soft following a dry night.

It is an early start at Wolverhampton where the first race is at 1110. The polytrack is standard as usual and Ravel can get punters off to a good start in the opening contest.

National hunt racing at Haydock begins at 1355 and the ground is good with good to soft places. Hold the Pin in the 1610 looks interesting coming over from Ireland.

At Carlisle, the ground is soft with good to soft in places. Jazz D'estruval in the 1435 will be difficult to beat.

The ground at Newton Abbot is good with good to soft in places but, between the hurdles in the back and home straight, it is good to firm.

Following Timmy Murphy and Martin Pipe at the course has proved profitable this season and the combination should be successful with Commercial Flyer in the 1455.
