Too Darn Hot, Circus Maximus and Phoenix Of Spain clash in the Qatar Sussex Stakes (3.35) in a rematch of last month's St James's Palace Stakes, the highlight of day two at Glorious Goodwood.

The Markel Insurance Molecomb Stakes (3.00), Unibet Handicap (2.25) and Unibet Goodwood Handicap (1.50) provide a particularly competitive build-up to the feature, while afternoon fixtures at Perth and Redcar, and evening cards at Sandown and Leicester ensure there is plenty to keep an eye on elsewhere in Britain.

Day three of the Galway festival is geared around thetote.com Galway Plate (7.20), with leading trainers Gordon Elliott, Willie Mullins and Paul Nicholls well represented at the head of the market.
