Latest market movers, going updates and betting advice for Thursday
A busy day which truly embraces the old cliche of saving the best for last, with Sandown's evening fixture the last to begin yet the highest on quality.
Although not covered by ITV this year, the six-race card at the Esher course is packed with possible Royal Ascot clues, including in the Mark Johnston-dominated Matchbook VIP Henry II Stakes (7.05).

Mark Johnston is responsible for three of the five runners in the Henry II Stakes, but it would be great for the staying division for one of the field to win impressively. There needs to be more viable threats to Stradivarius to keep the division compelling.
