Key info and expert advice for the day's six Flat meetings

The jumps break continues on Thursday, leaving Flat racing the only show in town.

Six tracks across Britain and Ireland host racing today, plenty of it on the all-weather. Lingfield, Redcar and Southwell take us through the afternoon, while in the evening it is the turn of Clonmel, the salvaged meeting at Musselburgh and Chelmsford.

The sole Pattern race of the day takes place in France, where the Prix Gold River goes off at 1.20 at Longchamp.
