All you need to know with six meetings to start the week

Windsor: racing this evening
Windsor: stages racing this evening

The Derby meeting at Epsom may have been and gone for another year, but there is plenty of action to look forward to with six meetings scheduled for Monday.

The Marathonbet Sportsbook Handicap Sprint Series qualifier (7.30) is the standout of Windsor's evening Flat meeting. Shining looks to follow up her victory on quick ground at Bath last month, but faces stiff competition from Thegreatestshowman and Dark Shadow.

Wolverhampton hosts action on the all-weather in the evening, while Brighton, Thirsk and Gowran Park stage Flat racing in the afternoon.

Jumps fans can look forward to a seven-race card at Listowel.
