Wonders of Windsor, which hosts racing tonight
Windsor: stages its final meeting of the seasonCredit: Edward Whitaker

With the Flat season drawing to a close, time is running out for another star two-year-old to emerge. However, we may witness a talented juvenile at Pontefract as Ralph Beckett's Manuela De Vega falls into the 'could be anything' category after making a winning debut at Salisbury. She aims to back up that success in the mile Silver Tankard Stakes (3.30), a Listed contest and feature race of the day.


Silver Tankard Stakes preview


Jumping at Plumpton ensures action from both codes and Vaniteux – a horse once deemed good enough to run in the Champion Hurdle – looks to get back on the right track in the 3m1f handicap hurdle (4.20) off a career-low mark of 128.

The day's itinerary is completed by Flat racing at Windsor in the afternoon and all-weather action at Kempton in the evening.
