The focus switches to Ireland on Sunday, with high-class racing at Navan and Thurles, while in Britain they go on the all-weather at Lingfield and over jumps at Fakenham.

At Navan, the Willie Mullins-trained Invitation Only puts his unbeaten record on the line in the Grade 2 Navan Novice Hurdle, while all involved in the closing 'Future Champions' INH Flat Race will be hoping to unearth the next Don Cossack – the Gold Cup hero won this race in 2011.

At Thurles, Gordon Elliott's Shattered Love will bid to get her head in front in the Listed Horse & Jockey Hotel EBF Boreen Belle Mares Novice Hurdle but she faces stiff competition again, this time from Asthuria for Mullins.

With the Irish trainers' championship battle between Elliott and Mullins bubbling up nicely, it looks set to be another important day for the powerful operations.
