Racing is at fives and sixes rather than sixes and sevens today with a feeling festival fever is waning slightly after the week's slog at Goodwood and Galway.

Goodwood's fifth day finishes its 'glorious' meeting with admittedly the handicap of the week in the Unibet Stewards' Cup but just one Group race in the St Leger trial that is the Qatar Gordon Stakes.

Galway goes into day six and, after Premier and Grade A handicaps, it is down to a B and plenty of maiden action which is strange for any Saturday summer card.

Chelmsford starts the day on the all-weather and after Thirsk, Newmarket and Doncaster run alongside Goodwood and Galway, the evening action is at Lingfield and Hamilton.
