Today on Sky Sports Racing: Chepstow, Hexham and Southwell feature live on Saturday | Racing News

We have a busy day’s racing on Saturday with action from Chepstow, Hexham and Southwell, live on Sky Sports Racing…
4.02 Chepstow – Wellington Arch and Masked Man spearhead classy field
The feature Wasdell Group Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow looks a belter with Masked Man and Wellington Arch among a host of contenders.
Masked Man has been at the head of the market all week and this lightly raced five-year-old must be feared on handicap debut. He scored on two of his four hurdles starts last season while running with credit in Graded company and ought to be involved.
Wellington Arch has a very different profile having landed a pair of handicaps on his last two outings. Ultra-impressive when landing a strong Aintree contest, he will need more again to defy a further seven-pound rise.
Melon claimed an Aintree handicap on his last hurdling run and arrives fit from a spin on the Flat.
Glynn Brae and The Mighty Celt are others will obvious each-way chances as well as last year’s victor Rambo T.
3.45 Hexham – Prolific Passing Diamond faces Tiddesley Wood
Prolific Passing Diamond takes on three rivals in a trappy Cast Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase at Hexham.
The Ben Haslam-trained six-year-old has relished the switch to fencing winning both starts at Cartmel and deserves a crack at this better race. A natural jumper, he ought to take some catching.
Tiddesley Wood is the chief danger as he makes his debut for trainer Adrian Keatley. He doubled his tally over hurdles when landing a Kempton novice on his final start for Fergal O’Brien and remains of interest over fences.
Ballykinlar and Passengerontheship complete the quartet.
7.30 Southwell – Recent scorer Tanjen contests strong heat
Recent winner Tanjen features among a field of nine for the competitive Pilsner To The Post Handicap at Southwell.
Tim Easterby’s four-year-old has won over this course and distance and arrives on the back of a comfortable success at Hamilton. Up seven pounds, he switches back to the all-weather and will be fancied to follow up.
Star Noir bounced back to life with an eight-and-a-half length victory at Catterick and reverts to handicaps with strong claims.
David O’Meara’s top-weight Goyard was only just denied over this course and distance last month and a similar effort would put him in the frame despite a one-pound rise.
Best of the rest
2.10 Chepstow – Good four-year-old handicap hurdle where Tenter Le Tout and Mojito Des Mottes feature.
2.45 Chepstow – Stick To The Board and Great Dance will be fancied.
3.22 Chepstow – Miss Cynthia among nine runners for Skelton team.

7.10 Caulfield – Another Group One.
3.05 Hexham – Heather Honey among six runners.

Fury vs Joshua undercard: Jai Opetaia could fight Deontay Wilder on Principality Stadium bill | Boxing News
Deontay Wilder could fight Jai Opetaia on the undercard of the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua blockbuster clash on December 11.
Fury and Joshua meet in a long-awaited, much-anticipated all-British heavyweight fight at the Principality Stadium.
Wilder, the hard-punching former world heavyweight champion, is eyeing a place on the bill against elite cruiserweight Jai Opetaia.
Dana White, who promotes Opetaia, told Sky Sports: “Jai Opetaia is more than likely going to be on the undercard. [Wilder] is one that we’ve been talking about and working on.”
It would be a first high-level heavyweight fight for Opetaia, the unbeaten Australian who has been a force at cruiserweight.
Wilder is now 40 years old but the former WBC titlist is still known for his fearsome punch-power.
“The guy’s willing to fight anybody,” White said of Opetaia. “It’s a very dangerous fight for him considering where he sits in his division right now.
“But he’s a fighter; he’ll fight anybody, even at heavyweight with a guy who hits as hard as Wilder does.”
Opetaia would likely return to cruiserweight afterwards. He and David Benavidez are considered the two best fighters in the 200lb weight class and Benavidez remains Opetaia’s ultimate target.
“That’s the fight he really wants. He wants that fight so we’ve got to figure that one out,” White said, adding: “He wants to stay active, he wants to fight and he doesn’t care if it’s at heavyweight or wherever, he’s ready to go.”
Wilder had an epic trilogy with Tyson Fury and came close to setting a fight with Anthony Joshua, only to lose to Joseph Parker.
In his last fight Wilder battled to a points win over British contender Derek Chisora at The O2 in London in April.
