All you need to start your day as John Gosden assembles strong Wetherby squad

Wetherby is the sole venue this afternoon in Britain for Flat racing, with top trainer John Gosden responsible for three novices with good chances.

Gold Stick, who shaped well on debut, contests the 1m2f novice (1.50), and Franz Kafka and Duneflower each look set to go close in their respective divisions of the 7f novice (2.20) and (2.50).

Ayr, Fakenham, Exeter and Wolverhampton also provide betting opportunities along with Ballinrobe, which provides the Irish action.

Final thought

We saw some excellent racing at the Curragh yesterday and another top-level victory looks a formality for Magical, who doubled her tally for the season in the Group 2 Mooresbridge Stakes.
