All you need to start your day including going from all the tracks

Thursday was literally the longest day of the year officially but the action comes thick and fast again with Royal Ascot going from survival of the fittest in the Gold Cup to Group 1 sprinters.

The Commonwealth Cup, full of 22 of the fastest three-year-olds, shares the headline act with the Coronation Stakes with its three 1,000 Guineas winners but there is something for everyone around the country.

Market Rasen jumps off first with Redcar supporting the Flat action in the afternoon before five evening meetings, Wetherby, Newmarket and Ayr along with Down Royal in northern Ireland and Limerick in the republic.
