The Briefing: All you need to know as The Tin Man makes his seasonal return

Although the Curragh is set to host the Irish 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas this weekend, it is the British tracks that host the day's action with five interesting cards to keep racing fans satisfied.

One week on from Bye Bye Hong Kong's Royal Windsor Stakes success, Windsor hosts another Listed race with the Leisure Stakes (6.30), featuring three-time Group 1 winner The Tin Man, who won this race last year for James Fanshawe.

Leicester also stages an evening meeting on the Flat, while Redcar and Carlisle offer turf action in the afternoon. Jumps fans have a six-race card at Ludlow to look forward to.

Final thought

After winning the Leisure Stakes in 2016 and 2018, The Tin Man went on to claim Group 1 success later that year. If James Fanshawe's seven-year-old can win the Listed race for a third time, it will be interesting to see whether that trend continues.
