All the latest from today's five meetings in Britain and Ireland

Not an all-weather in sight as the Flat focus switches across the Irish Sea to Naas for the first day of the turf season in Ireland.

The Tote Irish Lincolnshire surely can not throw up as awesome a winner as the English winner Addeybb, who could turn out to have been the handicap snip of the season.

Aidan O'Brien starts the season having set the highest standard possible in 2017 and sends out his first turf runners on the card.

Doncaster again flies the Flat flag in Britain with Ascot over jumps joined by the replacement fixture at Carlisle, a week after losing their scheduled meeting to the snow.

Downpatrick completes the day's action, hosting the Toals Bookmakers Ulster National Irish EBF Handicap Chase at 3.55.

No apology for this with Mick Channon having hit the ground running with the Brocklesby winner Izzer but if you missed it check out his hilarious Masterminded video from last summer.

The best of Racing Post Sport

No Premier League or Championship but there is lower league action which is put under the microscope by Bruce Millington, Mark Langdon and James Milton.

For top class sports action it is over to rugby union for a top tip from Graham Woods in the Leicester v Waspsgame

Final thought

Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy haven't rested on their Cheltenham laurels and head back to Downpatrick with Poormans Hill for the Ulster National. The favourite started life with Elliott in a handicap chase there last September when he must have been the best 4-5 chance of the season as he returns 33lb higher in the handicap after five more wins but has to be forgiven a tame effort in the Leinster National last time
