In what is a rare occurrence at this time of year there are actually more Flat cards than jumps meetings today.

Theobald has been highly tried in Group 1s and would be one of the highest profile runners of the day. The Jim Bolger-trained four-year-old races over a mile at Dundalk in the All-Weather Championships Fast-Track Qualifier (6.30).

Racing Post Ratings pointed us in the direction of winners at 3-1, 4-1, 6-1 and 7-1 at Chelmsford yesterday evening, and our tipsters return for more on the all-weather cards at Lingfield and Wolverhampton. Sedgefield and Huntingdon are responsible for jumps action in Britain.
