After plenty of excitement from both codes on Saturday there is no rest on Sunday with four meetings across Britain and Ireland for racing revellers to tuck into.

Jumps racing takes place at Wincanton, Stratford and Tramore while Dundalk hosts an afternoon of all-weather action.

Flat fans are also treated to three Group 3 contests across the Channel at Longchamp, where trainer Paul Cole will be hoping Duke Of Hazzard can bolster Classic claims when he takes on Persian King in the Prix de Fontainebleau.

Harry Fry's Serosevsky also returns after a five month absence in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton (2.25). The six-year-old seemed to be progressing until he was pulled up at Cheltenham last year, and will look to get back to winning ways carrying top weight under Sean Bowen.

The best of Racing Post Sport

It's a huge clash with potential title and top four implications in the Premier League as Liverpool host Chelsea, while Manchester City travel to Crystal Palace looking to bounce back from their midweek Champions League defeat to Tottenham.


Final thought

Persian King looks one of the main stars on show today, and although he is unlikely to head to Newmarket for the 2,000 Guineas he looked very smart when winning the Autumn Stakes last season. Hopefully he can get this campaign off to the best possible start.
