The pick of the domestic action comes from Naas with the Group 3 Goffs Lacken Stakes almost exclusively an O'Brien family affair.

Father and son Aidan and Joseph saddle three apiece in the seven-runner field - with Donnacha riding for his brother on Speak In Colours - and there are a trio of Listed races fulfilling the supporting role.

Ripon plays host to the Flat fare in Britain, with three jumps meetings at Stratford, Market Rasen and Limerick completing the schedule.

On the international scene, some of jump racing's biggest names, such as L'Ami Serge, Tea For Two and Yorkhill, are in action at Auteuil for the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris and the Grande Course de Haies, France’s Gold Cup and Champion Hurdle equivalents.
