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

Last week it was the July festival, the Irish Oaks and a host of other big races.

While this week may not be brimming with quite as much top-quality racing, it will no doubt still offer intrigue and talking points aplenty.

Four Flat cards at Ayr, Ffos Las, Wolverhampton and Windsor, plus a mixed card in the evening for the first day of Killarney's four-day festival start the week.

There should be something for everyone in a bid to beat the Monday blues.

Going report

Ayr - First race 2.00 Good (GoingStick 7.8 on Monday at 6.30am). Inner rail out six yards, top bed out eight yards. Races one, two, four, five and six: add 24 yards. Race seven: add 42 yards.

What's on today

Monday means entries, and this weekend's big highlights are at Newbury with the valuable Super Sprint for juveniles, plus the Hackwood Stakes and Steventon Stakes.

Goodwood is the next big summer meeting, and the five-day fixture is being launched officially today in London.

What to read

July Cup hero Harry Angel will need a stalls testbefore he races again, but trainer Clive Cox is relaxed about that prospect, while Sheikh Mohammed is bringing back some famous colours.

Best of RP Sport

Wimbledon may have finished, but Adrian Humphries has some fancies for the ATP events in Croatia and Sweden, while Dan Childs has you covered with a bet on Elfsborg against Hammarby.

Final thought

Olly Murphy has made a flying start to his training career over both codes, and is finding improvement from horses who had previously shown little. He claimed a double yesterday, and Sevilla, a 13-race maiden who was previously trained by his mother Anabel, warrants closer inspection in the claimer at Wolverhampton.
