All you need to know for today's full quota of meetings
It is finally business as usual again with a full schedule of meetings for the first time since Britain and Ireland were hit by snow last week.
Catterick and Fontwell provide the jumps action, while Lingfield and Kempton in the evening supply the all-weather interest.
The quality comes towards the end of the day when Kempton stages a Road To The Kentucky Derby race, originally due to take place last week, and a £25,000 handicap as its first race.

But as the meeting most can't wait to get started nears, Julian Muscat strikes a note of caution.

The best of Racing Post Sport
Another key night of Champions League football gets the full attention of the sports team.
Manchester City's clash with Basel may look like a dead rubber with the Premier League leaders 4-0 up from the first leg but there is still plenty at stake at Wembley where Juventus try to overcome Tottenham following a 2-2 draw with Spurs holding an away goals advantage.
Dan Childs has assessed the Spurs game and predicts a classic, while Steve Davies has a recommended bet for the City match.
Final thought
Keep your eyes peeled. It is a key day in the Cheltenham Festival build-up today when the six-day entries for the first day of the meeting will emerge from midday. Let's hope there are no unexpected changes of plan.
