Key info and expert advice for a cracking start to the week
It's not often we get to see a dual Group 1 winner on a Monday but we do today as high-class sprinter The Tin Man sprinkles some stardust on Windsor's evening fixture.
Last season's Diamond Jubilee winner bids to get back on track in the Listed Weatherbys Hamilton Leisure Stakes (7.45) against six rivals including Stewards' Cup scorer Lancelot Du Lac.
Three British contenders go in search of German 2,000 Guineas success with Zaman (Charlie Appleby), Fighting Irish (Harry Dunlop) and Fajjaj (Hugo Palmer) in action at Cologne and there are two Group races at Saint-Cloud.
Completing the domestic line-up, Redcar, Carlisle and Towcester stage afternoon fixtures with Leicester joining Windsor in the evening.
