It is not often you can start the week off watching a maiden hurdler who was last sighted in the Irish Derby, but that is the case at Punchestown where Carlo Biraghi runs for Fozzy Stack.

A winner on debut at the Curragh, Carlo Biraghi was highly tried on his next two outings, finishing down the field in the Irish Derby, and now he switches codes.

In Britain there is a double helping of jumping action at Ffos Las and Fontwell, while a fast-track qualifier is the highlight of Wolverhampton's all-weather card.

What to read

John Francome did not pull any punches on his assessment of how the whip should be used.

The best of Racing Post Sport

The first Grand Slam of the year, the Australian Open, started in the early hours of Sunday morning and Joe Champion has a couple of fancies.

Final thought

It could be worth watching the bumper at Ffos Las (4.15) as Get In The Queue looked very good when winning on debut at Uttoxeter and bids to make it two from two for Harry Fry.
