All you need to know on a day of international action

After the high drama of Saturday's Irish Oaks, the Curragh again has the main card on Sunday, with a pair of Group 2s headlining the eight-race card.
It is also a strong day in France, with the Prix Robert Papin, another Group 2, set to take place at 1.35.
Tipperary backs up the Curragh in Ireland, while in Britain Redcar is the sole Flat meeting alongside Newton Abbot and Stratford over jumps.

What to back
Maddy Playle picks out her best bet at Newton Abbot.
What to read
There has been some big runner news for the King George, which takes place next Saturday.
There was also something of an apparition, with Hurst Park's parade ring appearing as a result of the recent dry weather.
What to watch
Today will mark the end of an era, as Des Scahill calls a race in Ireland for the last time. He spoke to Tony O'Hehir.
The best of Racing Post Sport
The Tour De France today involves a category one climb followed by a 40km dash to the finish in Carcassone. Nick Pulford previews stage 15.
It is also German Grand Prix day at Hockenheim.
Final thought
The obvious comparison for the retiring Des Scahill is with Sir Peter O'Sullevan. One imagines it will similarly take a year or two to get used to a different voice accompanying Ireland's biggest races.
