All you need to start Prix de Diane day including going from all the tracks

Anyone lucky enough to have experienced Prix de Diane Longines day at Chantilly will know it is a perfect hors d'ouevre for Royal Ascot week as the glamour and style is comparable.

Closer to home, there are Flat cards from Cork, Doncaster and Salisbury, with Cork staging the Group 3 Munster Oaks.

Downpatrick keeps jumps fans entertained with six hurdle races and a concluding bumper where there could be a topical winner with the way the US Open is shaping up as there is a Noel Meade runner called The Caddy Rose.

Her form figures this year are 22 so let's hope she can add a win on the same day Justin Rose gets over the line in The Hamptons in America.
