Nottingham lays claim to Wednesday's feature race in Britain with the Barry Hills Further Flight Stakes, the traditional Listed curtain-raiser at Nottingham.

Unfortunately there are just four runners with an odds-on favourite in the 1m6f race but six of the eight races on the card have full each-way betting.

Warwick serves up the jump action and Lingfield, in the afternoon, and Kempton, in the twilight, put on all-weather racing.

Kempton sees the return of Robert Havlin back at the scene of his frightening fall in which he broke his collarbone and cracked ribs at the start of February.

Maisons-Laffitte hosts two Group 3s and Middleham Park Racing's Marie's Diamond runs in one of them, the Prix Djebel (4.02) and David Menuisier has a Listed-race runner in Danceteria.

Good to firm, good in places

Warwick (2.10)

Lingfield (AW) (2.20)
