Salisbury begins its season with a family fun day featuring the City Bowl and the popularity of Wetherby's Flat track is confirmed by an eight-race card all with double-figure fields.

Navan has the attraction of 2017 St Leger winner Capri bidding to give Aidan O'Brien another Vintage Crop Stakes (4.15) win plus the reappearance of Investec Oaks favourite Pink Dogwood, who is odds-on for the Listed Salsabil Stakes (3.40).

Longchamp has the day's Group 1 with the Prix Ganay (3.25) and no surprise Godolphin are on the case with Ghaiyyath.

Frankie Dettori is back in his homeland for the Italian 2,000 Guineas and 1,000 Guineas having never won the fillies' Group 3 that is the Premio Regina Elana Shadwell (3.30) meanwhile Richard Hannon sends Boitron for the Italian 2,000 Guineas, the Premio Parioli Shadwell (4.45), and Hugo Palmer runs Hot Team in Germany.
