All the news as All-Weather Championships Finals Day takes centre stage

The All-Weather Championships Finals Day at Lingfield takes centre stage today, with the John Gosden-trained Wissahickon a hot favourite to win the Betway Easter Classic All-Weather Middle Distance Championships Conditions Stakes (4.15).

The four-year-old, who has won his last five starts, looks a top-class performer in the making and holds an entry in the Coronation Cup at Epsom next month.

The brilliant Kachy looks a formidable opponent for his rivals in the Betway All-Weather Sprint Championships Conditions Stakes (3.05) and has been better than ever on his two starts following wind surgery.

Newcastle provides further all-weather action in the afternoon, while Bath is the sole turf meeting of the day with the Listed Whitsbury Manor Stud/British EBF Lansdown Stakes (4.05) the feature.

The best of Racing Post Sport

Mark Langdon is joined by Racing Post Sport's Liam Flin, Aaron Ashley and Paddy Power's Emmet O’Keeffe for a look back at this week's UEFA Champions League games and best bets for the Easter Premier League games.

Final thought

Paul Nicholls has always placed his horses superbly and, despite Kupatana's jumping frailties, seems to have found the key to the talented mare. The soon-to-be 11-time champion trainer can also look forward to a potentially epic clash between stable star Cyrname and the mighty Altior.
