What you need to know for a super day's racing in Britain and Ireland
It's Sunday, a sleepy day of action after Saturday's highlights, right? Wrong.
Today's racing is crammed with intrigue. The ultra-talented but quirky (or just misunderstood?) Might Bite is the headline act at Sandown, and at Navan there is a trio of graded races featuring, among others, last season's David Nicholson winner Apple's Jade.
If that wasn't enough there's also a jumps card at Ffos Las to keep you entertained.
