Going, market movers and punting pointers as O'Brien and Mullins go centre stage
Naas stages two Group 3 contests with plenty of potential Royal Ascot clues with the Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies' Sprint Stakes (3.50), a race for juveniles that has unearthed the likes of Sky Lantern and Alpha Centauri in recent years.
The 6f Goffs Lacken Stakes (4.25) is for three-year-olds and once again Aidan O'Brien dominates the running with The Irish Rover, Western Frontier and So Perfect.
In Britain, jumping action comes from Market Rasen and Stratford while Ripon hosts a Flat card.
