Ayr, Plumpton and Uttoxeter are the three jumps fixtures today in Britain, while Wolverhampton provides the evening fare with a six-race card starting at 5.25.

Champion trainer Nicky Henderson, who saddled four winners at Kempton on Saturday, runs Flat recruit The Cashel Man in the novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (3.10), where he bids to go one better than his second last time out at Kempton, and Pentland Hills, another who holds useful form on the Flat, at Plumpton.

It's the east Midlands derby in the Championship as Nottingham Forest host Derby, and you can read Matthew Ireland's preview of the match here.

Final thought

The countdown to Cheltenham is very much on but we undoubtedly saw some very interesting contenders for the festival over the weekend. The manner of Fusil Raffles's victory in the Adonis was certainly eyecatching – let's hope the cut he sustained in the race is not serious.
