All of the bases are covered today, with a blend of Flat, jumps and all-weather action taking place.

Leicester is responsible for the sole turf Flat fixture and its card features the Wreake Handicap (3.05), a Class 2 contest over seven furlongs made up of mostly seasoned handicappers.


Today's cards


The opening day of Punchestown's two-day meeting provides the Irish flavour, while the jumps action in Britain comes from Hereford and Huntingdon.

All-weather fans are not left out either, as Kempton hosts an eight-race card, which includes a good £25,000 handicap over a mile at 8.15.
