What you need to know to start your day including going from all the tracks

Pontefract saves a tepid Tuesday with its Listed race that shines out like a lighthouse in a sea of class five and six races elsewhere in the calm before the weekend storm.

Eyes will be on the Roger Varian-trained filly Dawn Of Hope, last seen running behind Qemah in the Group 2 Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot last month.

Evening meetings at Uttoxeter and Roscommon, where Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott have interesting runners, keep jump fans happy.
