Behind-the-scenes insight for National Racehorse Week and will we see the next Field Of Gold at Sandown?

Monday

The Betfred Nifty 50 Amateurs' Derby Handicap (3.20) is a coveted prize among eligible jockeys and is staged over the Classic course and distance at Epsom on Monday, with Patrick Mullins vying for his first win in a decade on Beauld As Brass.

Mullins will have to travel from Ireland but connections of the five-year-old will not have far to come at all as he is trained by George Baker, who operates within touching distance of the Derby start on Epsom Downs. 

Baker's yard will also be open to the public for National Racehorse Week, with the Racing Post recording a special edition of the Front Page from there on Monday morning.

The British Stallion Studs EBF Ripon Champion Two Yrs Old Trophy Stakes (3.15) is the pick of the action at Ripon, with a field of seven set to line up for Listed honours headed by the unbeaten Al Shaham.

Chepstow, whose highlight is a £35,000 mile handicap (3.03), and Southwell also stage Flat meetings, while jumps action comes from Cartmel, Downpatrick and Ballinrobe.

Tuesday

Ripon opens its doors once more as Bay Dream Believer goes for a hat-trick in the opening apprentice handicap (2.05) under 3lb claimer Rhys Elliott. 

The George Scott team make the long trip from Newmarket to Musselburgh with Midnight Rodeo, who aims to get off the mark in a mile nursery handicap (2.50), ahead of evening action at Lingfield and Bellewstown, which stages a €20,000 maiden sprint (6.25).

National Racehorse Week continues with more yards across the country opening up to the public, including jumps trainers Anthony Honeyball and Christian Williams. 

Wednesday

The Portobello Cup (4.00) headlines another day of action at Musselburgh, with £20,000 up for grabs in the 2m2f contest. Jim Goldie has won the last two runnings and could saddle 2024 winner Trojan Sun, but the 79-rated Maxident sets the standard for Amo Racing and Kevin Philippart de Foy.

The trainer could also be in action with Staniel Cay and newcomer Angel Love at Catterick but the big guns take aim at Kempton, with several interesting types in the opening mile novice (6.07).

Chief among them is Fortitudine, brother to top-class stablemate Rebel's Romance for Godolphin and Charlie Appleby, while Ralph Beckett could debut another well-bred colt in Joulany. 

Hexham and Bellewstown stage jumps fixtures and there is even more hurdling further afield as Zarak The Brave, winner of the Limestone Lad when trained by Willie Mullins, and former Harry Derham runner Givemefive are entered in the Grade 1 Jonathan Sheppard Handicap at Saratoga.

Bloodstock fans will be able to take full advantage of the ongoing National Racehorse Week as Juddmonte and the National Stud open to the public on Wednesday. 

Thursday

A chance to see Constitution Hill at Seven Barrows is one of the highlights of National Racehorse Week and Thursday's event booked up rapidly, but jumps enthusiasts can still see some top-class horses with the guest list open for Olly Murphy's Warren Chase stables. 

Flat racing dominates the action on the track as the final round of this year's Racing League takes place at Southwell. Matt Chapman's London and the South team hold a strong lead going into the meeting. 

Chelmsford, Ffos Las and Newbury fill out the British fixtures alongside a card at Navan, where the well-bred Saville Row could aim to get off the mark (3.30) as one of two possible runners for Aidan O'Brien. 

Friday

Former Group winner Nostrum has lost his way of late but could seek a return to form in Thirsk's £30,000 7f handicap (4.08) for David O'Meara. 

The card runs alongside action at Sandown, where Novelette is a promising prospect for Simon and Ed Crisford in the nursery sprint (2.15). The Esher track also stages a 7f maiden (3.15), won last year by Jonquil, and Juddmonte could bid for a repeat success with Accredit and Slight Of Foot entered.

Jannas Journey has been in unstoppable form to win her last five races and could try for a sixth success on the bounce at Ffos Las, where she is entered in the 7½f handicap (1.55).

Down Royal holds its first jumps card since May with a seven-race evening fixture alongside more jump racing at Fontwell and Wexford. 

Salisbury and Newcastle complete the day's offerings, while Hugo Palmer and Ben Pauling among the trainers to open their doors to the public as National Racehorse Week continues. 

Saturday

Field Of Gold began his climb to the top with a first Group success in last year's Solario Stakes (3.35), and several more juveniles will be aiming to follow in his footsteps at Sandown. 

The 7f contest has been won by the likes of Too Darn Hot, Masar and Kingman, and could prove a vital stepping stone for next year's Classic crop, while older fillies and mares will get their chance to shine earlier on the card in the Group 3 BetMGM Atalanta Stakes (2.25).

The Listed Chester Stakes (2.40), won last year by Absurde, is the highlight on the Roodee, while there is more Listed action at Beverley, which stages the rapid Beverley Bullet (2.05). 

Newton Abbot, Chelmsford and Lingfield round out the day in Britain but there is more quality racing in Ireland as the Curragh runs the Paddy Power Supporting Cancer Trials Ireland Irish Cambridgeshire (4.37).

The €100,000 premier handicap is preceded by three Group 3 contests in the Flame Of Tara Stakes (2.20), Round Tower Stakes (2.52) and Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes (3.27), where Dermot Weld could bid for back-to-back wins with Azada, Darzina and Tarima entered. 

Sunday

Smart sprinter She's Quality claimed victory in last year's Listed Abergwaun Stakes (4.30) and the 5f contest features on a strong Sunday card at Tipperary, which also includes the Group 3 Fairy Bridge Stakes (4.00). 

In Britain, the summer sprint series final (3.22) at Brighton offers a £35,000 prize pot and jump racing fans are treated to a card at Worcester.
