All you need to start your day including going from all the tracks

There are a couple of Listed races at Leopardstown on Thursday evening, but arguably neither is as interesting as the opening fillies' maiden, which Aidan O'Brien won last year with September and in which he is strongly represented.

Secret Thoughts is a War Front filly out of Irish Oaks winner Chicquita, while Fire Fly is a sister to the likes of Gustav Klimt, Mars, Wonderfully and Cuff, and Tracing is a Galileo filly out of Jersey Stakes winner Ishvana.

Elsewhere, there is afternoon action from Yarmouth, Haydock and Ripon, while Sandown and Carlisle supplement Leopardstown this evening.

Final thought

Everyone will have a favourite Denman moment. For many it will be his Gold Cup win, or one of his two Hennessys. For others it will be his second start at Wincanton, when the big beast with the tall reputation from the Irish pointing field showed in no uncertain terms his immense talent.

He was all over the place on the tight track, struggling with the bends and generally looking like he didn't have a clue what he was supposed to be doing, yet he put 16 lengths into the 8-11 favourite. It was the last time he didn't start favourite until his first Hennessy.
