It has turned cold but after a foul weekend in most of Britain and Ireland the sun is forecast to come out for the racing action today.

It feels like jump racing weather but the action is exclusively Flat, from Hamilton, Leicester, Kempton and Newcastle, which have all attracted competitively-sized fields.

The best race of the day involves juveniles and is the Listed Ballyhane Blenheim Stakes at Fairyhouse, where the unbeaten record of Breaking Story will be put to the test.
