There was plenty of open racing on Saturday night including the heats of the SIS/Star Sports Stewards Cup at Star Pelaw and the opening round of the Bar 1 Racing Irish Laurels.

Charlie Rees has said that Shadow Storm is on track to return to Dunstall Park to defend his Arc Scurry Gold Cup title.

The action on Friday night came from Romford and Sunderland with Paul Young taking the plaudits at the former with a four-timer.
