All you need to know on a busy day including going from all tracks

With Ayr Gold Cup day abandoned due to a waterlogged patch of ground, the main focus shifts to Newbury, where three Group races will be staged.

The feature Group 2 Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes (2.50) has an impressive recent roll of honour with Ribchester and Harry Angel the last two winners, and the consistent Invincible Army will be among the juveniles bidding to join those stellar names.

There are also two Group 3s at the Berkshire course with ten-year-old Take Cover one of a string of familiar sprinters facing off in the Dubai International Airport World Trophy Stakes (4.00) and Dylan Mouth preparing for the Melbourne Cup in the Dubai Duty Free Legacy Cup Stakes (2.15).

At Newmarket, the £50,000 Cesarewitch Trial offers a valuable prize as well as the opportunity to enhance claims for the second leg of the autumn double next month.

Catterick and Navan complete the afternoon action before Wolverhampton hosts an evening card on the all-weather.
